What would be the consequences of a smallsword wound to the belly?
I'm 20, I practice fencing. My height is 195 cm, I usually fence against shorter opponents. They often manage to drive their smallsword into my belly. That’s why I’m curious: what would it be like to get wounded into the belly by a real smallsword? How lethal would it be? How painful? How would I react?

if stomach gets cut, the acid could flow out. Death by being dissolved by your own stomach acid wouldnt be nice one.
It's actually the bacteria that's a bigger issue. Your digestive tract is isolated from main body functions in a number of key ways to prevent shit in your food and bowels from getting into your blood stream - if they do bridge that gap it can be nearly impossible to recover even with modern medicine. Septic shock is an extremely common cause of death.
