"Getting shot in the stomach with any 9mm+ will kill in 15 minutes."
Uhm....
OK, not sure where you came up with that, but I guess someone forgot to tell my neighbor when I was growing up.
He fought in the Pacific in World War II and took a chunk of Japanese shell in the stomach.
He survived several hours without anything other than very basic medical care.
He ended up losing a good portion of his stomach and had a raging peritoneal infection to deal with, but he's living proof (well, he was, he died some years ago) that being shot in the stomach isn't a 15-minute death sentence.
Medical statistics from the Civil War indicate that roughly 11% of soldiers who were hit in the stomach survived (much better than abdominal wounds, which apparently were 98% fatal).
