Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Question

Spoilers obviously
So I was watching this on USA just now and Jack shoots Barbossa in the heart. Then Will drops the coin and blood into the chest of coins. Then Barbossa starts to bleed and dies.
When he was shot he was still undead. So if wounds from before still hurt them, wouldn't Jack be dead b/c he was stabbed when undead?

You shouldn't question that movie. Just accept everything they show as being true. If not you will just end up with a headache.

Jack had time to heal being undead. The bullet was still in Hector.
That is what I got out of it, anyway.

There are like 3940349 plot holes in that movie. Just accept it and move on.

Fair enough, I was just bored and watching movies on TV all day, so I decided to try to exercise my brain a bit instead of being completely useless ... apparently that was a mistake.
BTW your avatar made me realize how much I'm going to miss King of the Hill

I read somewhere that, whenever the dead enter the moonlight and show their skeletons then turn back to normal, their wounds heal. In this case, Jack had entered and exited the moonlight a few times to heal, while Barbosa was shot in his "normal" state. So Barbosa went down, as well as a few others on the Pearl at the time Will dropped the coin. The fat, bald pirate that Barbosa shot earlier in the movie (to test if the curse was lifted) also lived.
Slightly off subject, but some people didn't understand why a few pirates expressed pain whenever they weren't supposed to feel anything. My guess is that they only felt discomforts (the pirate's splintering wooden eye, the skeleton that screamed when stabbed with a curtain rod), unlike food, "the wind on my face or the spray of the sea, or the warmth of a woman's flesh". I guess when Elizabeth stabbed Barbosa he was just a hardass and didn't flinch

All I heard was Elizabeth Swann.

When I first saw it, I wanted to ask questions like that too.
But then I remembered they made a pretty decent movie out of the second worst ride in all of Disneyworld and promptly cut then a shitton of slack.
