I have been browsing through the search engines non stop and I cannot find what I need.
Does anybody know where to get special effects for bullet exit wounds and other effects revolving around gunfire?

Sorry, I guess I didn't make myself very clear. I am looking for the actual equipment, such as squibs and supplies of that nature.

The websites you listed are pretty damn cool, and I will probably be using those products in the future. The film I am working on is very, very low budget and is basically being filmed with a dvd camcorder. I am doing a reality type film and needs that real life essence.

A squib is a small explosive device used for triggering a larger
explosion, or (by itself) it's own explosion. They range in size
from a millimeter (to shatter a bottle, for example) to 15 or so
millimeters (for a blood bag) and are ignited by an electric
current.

Since a squib is an explosive device you need a license to
purchase, transport and use them. So you will not find them
for sale on line.
