Gut-Shot

To either execute the act of or be recipient of a firearms wound/GSW to the abdominal area. In pre-20th Century medicinal eras, being Gut-Shot usually meant receiving a very painful, mortal wound. In modern medicinal eras, while it's exceptionally painful, there is a higher survival probability than might otherwise be realized by a chest wound due to the more lengthy time it takes to "bleed out."

Phil aimed his pistol at Larry's belly and gut-shot him over an argument.
