Wait a minute.... so, Felix DeSouza gets shot in the bottocks with a high-powered rifle from a sniper perched just across the street in an opposing window... and yet he makes it through the film pretty much functional? Or did I miss something??
Geez, I know the guy is supposed to be a hard-ass, butt this is ridiculous!
the bullet just touched him a lil bit

He was crawling away on all four while shot in the ass from behind at a slight angle. Unless the trajectory changed on impact, the bullet would have come out of his stomach.
But then again "realistic" was not a key word in this mediocre film.
I am not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing.
"the bullet just touched him a lil bit"
Bullets don't "touch".
Bullets graze, penetrate, kill, injure, destroy, rupture, crack, break or explode, but they don't 'touch'.
you must not know that much about weapons. She is shooting a ruger mini-14 which fires a .223 round, which really isn't that big. and as he's crawling out the door and turns the corner the bullet just grazes his ass. Yes, if he was shot striaght from behind the bullet would come out around his stomack or his junk. just try to suspend disbelief a little.
shareIt's also a silenced Mini-14. So, a small subsonic round put into a fleshy spot my an expert marks-person. Good bit of blood, quite a bit of discomfort, but not debilitating. Now, as for the shag in the tub later on: I don't care how full of smit the guy is for his lost love. Some hot soapy water in an open bullet wound is going to be distracting enough to prevent even the slightest thought of re-consummating any relationship.
shareLook, you can't be shot safely anywhere in your body.
There are such things as blood loss, nerve damage, acu point disruption, infections, disease, and a wound that starts to rot.
You can't just take a bullet and go about your day as if nothing happened without an operation of some kind - it's not like it'll heal by itself while you run around the city. It has to be taken out of the body or you are not only in pain and discomfort (and probably partial immobility, at least due to muscle damage), you're in actual danger and would probably develop a fever at least.
It's just a film and made no pretence of being realistic. Anyway, as others have pointed out, it only scraped him.
A slight reference to Monty Python, perhaps, when the words, "It's only a flesh wound" are said by Elmo?
