Looks like you should relabel this thread "Neurology 101".  |

He may not have taken a full hit. Instead a bullet fragment entered deep enough to affect the optical nerve.
A bullet fragment from a fired round counts as being shot.

I don't know much about bullet wounds specifically but any kind of head trauma or brain injury can cause tissue swelling and vascular damage (ie bleeding or blood clots or traumatic aneurysm as mentioned previously) and these things can damage nerves so it doesn't necessarily mean Jim's optic nerves were bisected by the bullet itself.
