Can an individual live without their Femoral Artery?
The survivability of a bullet wound to the femoral artery is dependent on many factors. The most important factors are the severity and location of the bleeding and the availability of advanced medical care. The size of the victim, the possibility of infection, and the activity of the victim after being shot are all also extremely important. Serious bleeding from the femoral artery must be properly treated immediately. A few minutes can be all that is necessary for the wound to guarantee permanent disability such as brain damage or the need for amputation. A wound to the upper femoral artery caused by a direct shot from a heavy rifle slug is likely to kill within ten minutes.

Can you kill someone buy shooting them in the leg?
No. Neither if the bullet hit the femoral artery. If the bullet hit the femoral artery, you will eventually die if the bleeding isn't stopped immediately. But no, you won't die instantly if you're shot in the leg. You will, however, die instantly if you were shot in the head through the back of your head close the spinal cord because that area of the brain is where your internal organs, including your heart, are controlled from.Addendum:There are only three places by gun shot that can typically kill instantly: head, heart, and spinal cord. However, it is important to realize that "instantly" is a relative term here. It takes no less than 5 minutes for clinical death to set in once the heart stops. Even a head shot can leave the heart beating for some time longer than five minutes, and brain death does not occur until circulation has ceased for five minutes or more.A GSW to the femoral artery can take 1 minute (if the artery is totally severed) to an indeterminate time if it only nicked (depending on the size of the opening in the artery) for exsanguination to occur. Approximately half of a person's blood supply would have to evacuate before the heart stopped, and then the brain death clock starts. It is possible however, and quite possible that the GSW victim would succumb to shock before bleeding out.
What is the use of tying a torniquet?
its a way of restricting blood flow..say someone was shot in the leg, so they tied a tourniquet off around their thigh so they didn't bleed too much or even to death. its basically an attempt at pinching off a vein or artery. <><><> It is also a VERY dangerous process in itself. Tissues may die from the blood supply being cut off by the tourniquet. It is properly used only as a last resort to control PROFUSE bleeding- as in an amputation.
