For what the OP is asking for, to suggest a tampon is incorrect. If you choose between bleeding, and not bleeding, you shoule have the proper medical supplies at hand to stop the bleeding. As for sticking a single tampon in a bullet hole, and it stopping the bleeding, I urge you to try if you ever get to go to a DMOC course or the like. Or hell, if you ever go hunting, give it a shot. You will see very quickly that 1 tampon does not work. More like a dozen or so depending on wound channel. They do not expand properly to fill the channel. They absorb blood and do not stop bleeding. At all.
Yes I have. Doesn't work.
I will finish with this: If you need to improvise, fine. Whatever gets the job done at the end of the day. But if you think a GSW or some other trauma is a possibility, have the proper tools for the job and the training and know-how in how to apply them. Buy the correct items, and only improvise when absolutely necessary. Don't buy tampons as a substitute for the proper tools.
