That's really cool. I didn't know they did this sort of thing at reinactments to :(

 

Do you know why they didn't remove the wounded man's pant leg before trying to get the bullet out? (and for that matter, why is the poor guy wearing sweatpants? :()

The reasons may be twofold-1. no time 2. anatomical "operables" have rather obvious "insert/penetration" zones that are better disguised by clothing.

OH, lol I got'cha :(

 

I think "no time" wouldn't be a major concern as I'd imagine any medicus would simply rip the pants up the leg. It would take about two seconds, they must've gotten good at it :(
