Answer 10

Technically, a bullet would is a special type of puncture would (with a stab wound being another class of puncture). Medical procedures for the two are essentially the same.

Source for that ^= I'm a firefighter and random bits of knowledge tend to come out of my head at random times.

EMS would call it a stab wound because the knife or otherwise sharp implement is throwing a large projectile. An individual at which a knife was thrown (and the target) would still have the knife would categorized as a stab wound. I figure that the same principle applies for a knife throwing gun.

Sorry for rambling..
