okay
so what its a block of gelatin that you shoot at
im not sure that would effectively prove against my point

most creatures with organic bodies arent simply solid blocks of flesh
under those outer layers there are complex biological systems making that body work
so there isnt really any part of a body thats safe to fire any weapon without causing extreme damage to those systems even if bleeding isnt an issue
you cannot shoot an overheated hole through someone and expect it not to be basically the worst thing their body could have done to it
trust me on this im speaking from experience

which isnt even to mention the number of reasons cautery is not considered medically sound except in very special circumstances
especially from a tool intended more for harm than health
tissue damage that could very likely lead to necrosis and what would essentially be a guarantee of infection
there is nothing safe about it whatsoever
