I came across an incident in the mountains where a guy had shoved an ice axe through his leg after a bad fall, and ripped out a big old chunk. He was bleeding pretty badly, and Quikclot saved the day. I always had a pouch in my kit because of this sort of thing, and I am glad to say that it did the job. The French medical teams had not seen or heard of it and were very happy to take the info away with them. Its not a gunshot wound, but bleeding is bleeding, and he was in a bit of a state. Happy to say that he made a good recovery and is still doing daft things in the mountains!
