My grandpa used to be a cop and a paramedic, he told me a story one time about how a guy had tried to kill himself with a .22 with some really old ammunition. He said the rounds kept flattening on his skull and not penetrating but he was persistent, took around 5 shots to penetrate and kill him.

[@testname4464]

Reminds me of this story about the repeating volcanic pistol: A suicidal man went to a gun store to buy a .34 volcanic pistol with the ammunition (presumably because at the time it was that or a muzzleloader). Once he got home he shot himself, then chambered a new round and shot himself again, and repeated this process until he emptied the gun, the side of his head was covered in blood, and his wife came home horrified. This is because the ammunition it used, .34 rocket ball, was well a rocket, rockets need time and distance to build up momentum and become lethal, within a dozen meters it may not be lethal, and from the muzzle it has almost zero time or distance to become deadly.

Some people survive a grenade, some don't. Just because that happened to you does not mean it HAS to happen to everyone else. I watched this story about a 19 year old that got shot 3 times in the face and his gf was shot and killed and the cops thought he killed her because they couldn't even see the bullet holes in his face. They didn't notice for like a day, they just thought he was acting weird because they thought he killed her. When they finally noticed, they realized that some guys broke into their house and shot him and his girl. I'll find the video and post it here. Not everyone or every situation is the same. Think outside the box.

Arrived to find a male with a complete pass through GSW to the head. In one temple, out the backside. Still breathing but unconscious. Began transport to hospital to transfer care to flight medics. PT stopped breathing about 5 minutes from the hospital. Obviously, the injuries were incompatible with life per protocol, but since he had been breathing we started CPR anyways.

Maybe I wrote about this case in the original video, but I think it fits here, too^^ We had a case of a head shot that would have been survived, if it would have been the only injury. The other being a shot through the heart, which was not survived. The patient was hit over the counter with a pistol right in the middle of the forehead. We could see at autopsy, that the bullet passed between the hemispheres and came to a stop in the occipital bone. The damage to the brain was absolutely minimal, no major blood vessel was hit, nothing. He would have survived that shot, since an ambulance was at the scene rather quickly. Unfortunately, the shooter fired several shots and hit the heart and the lung. That was the most lucky unlucky guy on my table ...

[@simonwouters341]

our body is actually pretty strong and can withstand a lot of things. we humans just found a loophole to our body which is getting a small high speed bullet through it which is fast and compact enough to pierce through any type of body tissue. our brain, being our most important organ second to the heart when it comes to staying alive, is being protected by a pretty thick skull which takes a lot of force to break through. in other words, our body is pretty awesome but our technology beats our body

11:13 the Ambassador Hotel (3400 Wilshire) where Kennedy was shot was actually only 2 miles and a 10 minute drive away from Good Samaritan Hospital (1225 Wilshire). The present day site of the hotel is in Koreatown and now a school named after RFK.

I'm not perpetuating this idea of "well they're a victim too in their own way right?" because they simply aren't, using it to call someone who objectively is not a victim and harms others inherently takes away the value from the word, calling them a victim inherently gives them vindication. This is bullshit that only gets used to diminish the actions of what they did and gain sympathy, notice how people only ever apply this shit to white men who have caused horrible crimes?

Worked security in an ER for the past decade and one of the most memorable events was a guy brought in after an officer involved shooting through his windshield.

No doubt the windshield cut the velocity of an already small round a lot, but damn.

@@ZEMPHYRRIANs420gaming-bl7wm No argument there in terms of velocity, but I'd be really curious to see how the windshield affected it on a high speed camera, whether it hit in a spin or somewhere in a tumble and I kinda wish I'd been able to see a scan of the patient's head but I was tied up at the time. Of course my example was anecdotal and recreating it ten times might yield ten different results, but I was still surprised just how unaffected he was by it and my impulse was that I wouldn't want to rely on that round at home. Medical seemed more concerned by the chest injury too so I have to assume the "headshot" was pretty superficial in that one instance. But it was dead center, no mistaking that even with the wound packs in place.

Robert Lawrence MC survived despite violating most of these principles. He was an junior officer in the Scots Guards during the Falklands War, and was shot in the final couple of hours of the war at the Battle of Mount Tumbledown. He was shot by a sniper using an FAL rifle firing a 7.62x51mm bullet, advancing in the heat of battle the sniper had been missed so shot Lawrence from behind (no idea at the range, but couldn't have been massive). He had to wait 2 hours before being evacuated by helicopter. Then he got to the makeshift hospital and was left outside for another 4 hours as he was assumed to have little chance of survival. He'd been shot in the back of the head with the bullet through the hairline above his right eye, he lost something like 40-45% of his brain. I suspect it might be relevant that he was injured in June (winter in the Falklands) and was lying in snow while he was waiting to be evacuated.
