Note that '''Normally I Would Be Dead Now''' applies only to things that would have killed a normal character even by Hollywood rules. If it is "merely" something like severe bleeding from the shoulder or leg, that is [[Only a Flesh Wound]]. Surprisingly, this is actually a case of [[Truth in Television]]. There are many real life examples of people who had things rammed through their chests and heads and still lived due to the foreign material miraculously missing vital organs. This means there is a fine line between this and mere [[Aversion]] of [[Instant Death Bullet]]. However, it is far more common in fiction than in [[Real Life]] and all of them were left incapacitated or unable to move, so [[Don't Try This At Home]].
