Bad idea: If you understand that a bullet is not a clean item and add the contents of the barrel and what it has traveled through and you basically have injected a toilet into the tissues. These are very tricky wounds as the energy in the bullet also causes damage that takes a while to show itself (days). Better to be seen by a doctor rather than risk a horrific infection and loss of function of the arm.
