A gunshot wound is a puncture wound. Puncture wounds do not bleed much unless a blood vessel has been injured. However, an object that goes into the soft tissues beneath the skin can carry germs deep into the body.

Gunshot wounds are complex, violent, traumatic injuries commonly encountered in forensic practice. These injuries are caused by penetration of the body with projectiles ejected from a barrel due to the ignition of gunpowder. The study of these injuries is also called wound ballistics.
S01.01XAICD-10 Code for Laceration without foreign body of scalp, initial encounter- S01. 01XA- Codify by AAPC.
A laceration is a cut through the skin. A scalp laceration may require stitches or staples. It may also be closed with a hair positioning technique such as braiding. There are a lot of blood vessels in the scalp. Because of this, a lot of bleeding is common with scalp cuts.
A puncture wound has a small entry hole caused by a pointed object, such as a nail that you've stepped on. In contrast, a cut is an open wound that produces a long tear in the skin. Puncture wounds require different treatment from cuts because these small holes in the skin can disguise serious injury.
A laceration or cut refers to a skin wound. Unlike an abrasion, none of the skin is missing. A cut is typically thought of as a wound caused by a sharp object, like a shard of glass. Lacerations tend to be caused by blunt trauma.

'Ballistics' is the study of thrown objects. Ballistic injury (from thrown or projected material) may be caused by a number of weapon systems including firearms and explosives. The damage to tissues caused by projectiles depends on a number of factors.
Blunt trauma occurs when the force applied to the body is not sharp in nature. Forensic medicine refers to blunt versus sharp injuries. Thus gunshot wounds (GSW) are classified as blunt to the medical examiner because the bullet is not a sharp imple- ment.
