The ability to stop bleeding without bandaging

[nammo 0]

So I was thinking as I was bleeding out and unable to find any bandages/rippable clothes, why cant I pack dirt into my wound to stop the bleeding I know the military uses this sometimes when they don't have bandages left to use in the battlefield such as in the movie lone survivor. So my suggestion is: be able to pack dirt into your wounds to stop the bleeding but have a 50% chance of getting a disease that you need antibiotics to heal.

If anything  stopping "bleeding" ( from bullet/axe/knife) need to be harder and not reduced to, "oh I got shot, lets put dirt on it, there, that should do the trick"

I think more along the lines of your blood clotting in time. For example, getting into a fist fight and someone punches you in the nose, your nose bleed eventually stops. If you get scraped or clawed, you eventually stop bleeding as well.

However, things like gunshot wounds, getting hit with an axe or machete, or stabbed by a knife or pitchfork would take much longer to clot, cause they do in reality.

And if anything, bleeding does not need to be harder to stop. It's not meant to be a real life simulator, it's meant to be a game. I think perhaps, depending on the condition of the bandage, there could be a chance of it falling off, and you start to bleed again, but I don't agree with making it harder to stop bleeding in a game.
