Bite the Bullet is thought to have derived from battlefield surgeries, when amputations and medieval medical procedures were done without anaesthetic.

To distract the ‘patient’ – although ‘torture victim’ may be more appropriate – from the pain, a bullet was placed in their mouth for them to bite down on. Sticks or leather were also used, but lead bullets were both readily available in a battle and malleable, so the patient’s teeth wouldn’t break ... Bite The Bullet!
