Susceptibility to pain (pain threshold), as already proven by scientific research, has national characteristics - this is due to the genetic predisposition of certain peoples and … a specific blood group.
The villains put five bullets into the "most persistent" representatives of the "exclusive" nations, after which they fell into a coma. But they survived!
Genetics and blood
The predisposition to sustained resistance of the body to the consequences of gunshot wounds, as well as other external injuries, has been investigated by Western scientists relatively recently. In 2014, experts from the University of Philadelphia published their findings about the ethnogenetic feature that affects the pain threshold. According to these studies, “southerners” (Kurds, Afghans, Africans, Arabs and Caucasians) are peoples more resistant to pain from external trauma, including gunshot wounds.
No less curious are the results of scientific developments concerning the influence of blood groups on the tolerance of various injuries (and gunshot injuries too), as well as overcoming the shock state that arises in connection with this. It is noted that trauma and shock are much more easily tolerated by people with blood group B (III).
Studies have shown that a significant part of the population with this blood group lives in Central Asia. In addition to Mongolia, northwestern China, there are former Soviet republics inhabited by ethnic Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Tajiks and Turkmens. In addition, residents of the Transcaucasus, mainly professing Islam, were included in the "trauma-resistant" peoples.
The peculiarity of the third blood group is that its components create a balanced immune system that can effectively resist external threats (for example, a bullet wound). This is especially important in countering various kinds of infections that often accompany an injury. Historically, the carriers of the B (III) blood group are nomads, which is why it is still considered "eastern".

Scientists also include Kurds, Africans and Arabs among the "southern" "pain-resistant" peoples. Moreover, these theoretical calculations of the researchers can be easily tested in practice - there are many examples when famous African Americans showed miracles of survival after inflicting multiple gunshot wounds on them, which at first glance are incompatible with life.
Tenacious "dirty old bastards"
Not a hint of racism. Just a translation of the pseudonym of the African American rapper Russell Tyrone Jones (Ol 'DirtyBasterd). The guy was weak in life, he did not live up to 36 years old - he died from a drug overdose. But on the other hand, 8 years before his death, he successfully “digested” three gunshot wounds - in 1994 in the stomach, in 1998 - in the back and in the arm.
Many African American rappers, in the early days of their fiery musical careers, sometimes (forcedly, of course) trafficked in drugs. Like, for example, The Game (then, in 2001, another simple Californian kid Jason Taylor). The future rap star was punctured by fellow businessmen, like Tyrone Jones, also 5 times. Only harder, at a time, in one "session". The Game was in a coma for three days. As soon as he got out of the "twilight", he immediately gave up the drug trade, and devoted himself entirely to hip-hop.
In 2000, African American rapper 50 Cent, "in the world" Curtis Jackson, suffered from 9 gunshot wounds, he was shot in the arm, thigh, chest, legs, cheek … the world's oldest record label Columbia Records. But it was partly thanks to his incredible willpower and efficiency that 50 Cent recovered, and his work gained popularity over time, and with it came commercial success.
Five years later, Fifty Senta Cameron's colleague Djibril Thomaz falls under a hail of bullets. Hanged with "tsatskami", costing tens of thousands of dollars, he was robbed while driving his "Lamborghini". With his hands shot through, the musician himself made it to the hospital. And he even gave mini-interviews to doctors about the imminent release of his new album, and also boasted that the robbers could not take either his jewelry or an expensive car.
