Gunshot to the heart

[jane78flower]

Hi wondering what input y'all have on a .44 or .45 to the heart. What r the chances, do you have any info / studies on survival & chances. Tysm
Can't find much info if there is some on here or online i'd appreciate the help:)

Directly to the heart is death pretty much. Even if someone gets you help immediately it probably won't help. The issue is getting through the breast plate.

Would a .44 with Hollow Point do it?

Yeah, you have to be a student of anatomy to get this just right.

I say it would. Find your ribs and shoot in between them. I have no idea what bleeding out might feel like. There's no "lights out" like an intraoral shot, though. You'd be conscious for some "X" period of time.

Ty yeah I know it isnt instant. Do u know of any research about ppl failing/succeeding,

Bear in mind that some of these have pictures you may not want to see. But you can find some information:

1. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4885112/ the case of a schizophrenic woman who attempted ctb by this method, survived
2. https://journals.lww.com/amjforensi...sic_issues_in_suicidal_single_gunshot.23.aspx paywalled, but has statistical information
3. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0379073804006085 another link with information
4. https://tsaco.bmj.com/content/6/1/e000694 more info on unusual spots for self-inflicted gunshot wounds

I hope some of those contain the information you seek. Is there a reason you're set for this location rather than cranial or intraoral?

Thank you! Yeah there seems like less of a chance of paralysis/brain damage

No, not really. Sry. You might find some stats on the open Internet if you look hard enough. IMO, I think a hole in the heart is pretty much not survivable. You'd bleed out in short order.
