I'm a writer, and need some information on a ballistic injury in order to tell my story effectively. If a 15 year old got a bullet to the hand, a small .9mm at a yard away range, what is the more likely thing to happen to the kid's hand?

Dispatched for an unconscious male who is bleeding. Arrived on scene and found a male patient in his 20's unconscious with a single gsw to the left anterior neck. Approx 3 liters of blood on the ground. The wound is not actively bleeding. No pulse is felt. Monitor shows a organized rhythm at a rate of 42. No other wounds found. Patient's airway is filled with copious amounts of vomit, blood and other fluids. Protocol states traumatic arrest with a PEA of 40 or above get worked. As the crew start cpr you evaluate the airway. Neck tissue is swollen and suction tank is almost full with no end in sight you look with your scope but there is too much tissue swelling and damage to intubate. Bagging with OPA does nothing. You now have a can't ventilate can't oxygenate situation what will you do? What can be done for this patient? DOA or load and go?
