Split leather is leather created from the fibrous part of the hide left once the top-grain of the rawhide has been separated from the hide. During the splitting operation, the top-grain and drop split are separated. The drop split can be further split (thickness allowing) into a middle split and a flesh split.
Excruciating pain. It all depends where the bullet enters. A person shot in the brain will likely perceive no pain as the trauma usually renders them immediately unconscious. A bullet entering a limb such as a leg is initially perceived as a hot sting. Within 20 minutes a throbbing, pulsating pain is experienced.
Gunshot wounds always cause a great deal of tissue damage, so bleeding is usually heavy. You need to control the bleeding in order to give the victim a chance to survive. You can use any type of cloth to put pressure on the wound with your palm. Apply steady pressure for at least 10 minutes without moving too much.
