Answers:
Keep it clean and use neosporin on it!. Watch it though, any sign of infection and he should get to a doctor!
Signs of infection, if its read and warm in the wound area, and also pus !. ( naturally ) Has he had a tetnus shot recently, he needs one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

he needs to go the hospital and get it treated!. For now soak tissue paper in alcohol (wash your hands in anti-bacterial soap first) and cleanse that area!. Get a clean towel and place it on the wound!. If it does get infected it can be pretty bad!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ice packs should help the swelling!. Maybe some Neosporin Cream--some type of antibacterial cream!. If it should get worse--go to a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I really don't know what you should do, I'm sorry, but this sounds A LOT like something my brother would do, he owns about 5 bb guns and 1 aerosoft gun!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry =/
You should definitely take him to the hospital, i don't think there's anything you can really do at home for him!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
