why did he swallow it?no it shouldnt go off in him i dont think. why would he do that?

You need to go to the ER -now-. A 9mm is large enough caliber that with or without the casing, he's going to have massive digestion problems. Like other posters have said, the acid in his stomach could end up poisoning him, and at the very least the intestinal path could be blocked. Also, the metal from which the bullet is made is possibly harmful.

Don't risk it; if he can't throw it up, then go to the ER.

I would encourage him to throw it up. The danger is not in it going off but in poisoning from the powder and metal acid deterioration in his stomach from the acid. But he will probably crap it out before it desintegrates from the acid in his stomach. Eat alot of fiber. You might want to take him in to the ER to be safe.

The bullet with or without the brass casing?

If just the bullet (and it's not a 50-caliber) then no biggie. If the whole bullet and brass casing, then maybe it might cause a stoppage.

I am assuming it was a small caliber bullet. If so then he should be fine other then some really bad stomach pains from the gun powder and one hell of a painful crap.

Wow thanks for the response for your info i have strep throat mucus build up andim in very good shape notice a wrote I'm SICK in the question. Derrrrrrr

Go to the ER. Period.
