Can you get gangrene in the leg from being shot with a BB gun?

While it is unlikely that a BB gun can directly cause gangrene in the leg, there is a risk of infection when a BB becomes embedded in the skin. If the wound is not properly cleaned and treated, bacteria can enter and multiply, leading to infection. In severe cases, infection can spread to the surrounding tissues and bones, resulting in gangrene. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention promptly after a BB gun injury, even if the wound appears minor, to ensure proper treatment and minimize the risk of infection and complications like gangrene.
