Spur H	In order to become paralyzed there needs to be some serious nerve damage. Damage to the spinal cord or brain stem will cause paraparalysis or quadriparalysis. Nerves can grow back but at a rate of like 1mm/year and recovery is possible but not in ever case. Gun shots kill by fragmenting bullets, massive bleeding/shock trauma, and by hitting vital organs.

Logic316	You can be paralyzed if the bullet or knife severs or crushes a major nerve that controls voluntary motor functions (such as the muscles in your legs), without necessarily affecting critical organs. It all depends exactly where it hits and how much damage it does. A cleanly-cut nerve, for instance, has a better chance of reattaching itself and healing than one that's been torn or crushed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
