It’s intended to shock, and does, meaning Spider-Man has to face several foes after a bullet’s passed through his side. Spider-Man’s only involvement with that is to be shot by the Punisher.

There’s a gruesome foreshadowing in the opening chapter as Captain America’s training session with Spider-Man involves taking him to a graveyard and pointing out it’s where plenty of soldiers end up.
