2) If the wound in the extremities (LEGS OR ARMS) - wrap a scarf VERY STRONGLY proximal to the wound site to minimize bleeding, applying local pressure also helps. KEEP THE PRESSURE UNTIL HELP COMES.
DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS INSIDE THE WOUND UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES YOU ARE NOT A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL AND MIGHT DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD
IF you are not in a safe environment you have to move the victim.

OTHERWISE REDUCE MOVEMENT AT ALL COSTS!!
LOOK FOR EXIT POINTS OF THE BULLET - if there are present you should try control the bleeding in those wounds as well or prioritize the one that is bleeding actively!
TO SUMMARIZE:
1) CALL FOR HELP
2) Go to a safe environment
3) Check pulse (if the patient was unconscious and there is no pulse initiate CPR)
4) Control bleeding until help comes.

THANK YOU AND PLEASE STOP THE SPREAD OF MEDICAL MISINFORMATION :)
If any medical professional comes across this: I know the management is much more complicated than this but I tried to simplify it as much as possible and highlight the most important points so any person even a person with minimal medical knowledge can get maximum benefit.
++ if you can not get medical aid to come to you the next best thing after stabilizing the bleeding to GOING TO A NEARBY HOPSITAL
