Oh god, at this point it feels like people in this forum are looking for reassurance even when shooting themselves in the head with a firearm. Sure, anything can happen in life… but honestly, this place feels like an alternate universe. People surviving being hit by trains going 300 km/h, jumping off cliffs from 500 meters high, or even nuclear explosions. And then someone always brings up that one clinical case of a guy who shot himself with a rifle… and managed to hit everything except the brain. Usually, they're left with a disfigured face — so either they shoved the barrel into their nostril or aimed it at their refrigerator.
Then we get the usual talk about statistics: that famous 10–15% of "survivors" that, if you actually look into it, includes everything from failed homicides to grazing shots to bullets that never even entered the skull. There's always someone who shoots themselves under the chin, thinking the Virgin Mary will guide the bullet to the brain — and instead it magically curves off and lands in the neighbor's pasta pot across the street.
Speaking from personal experience — and I mean real cases in the areas around where I live — everyone who shot themselves died. Maybe one or two made it to the hospital and died shortly after. No survivors. No "just injuries." And we're even talking about 13-year-olds, no training, never held a weapon, who just grabbed their dad's police-issued pistol or their grandfather's old shotgun. No skill, no calculation — just a weapon in hand and the end.
When you hold a gun, you're holding the most lethal method ever conceived — something that, with a single click, takes you from existence to eternal non-being. No second chances. No debate. This isn't about stats or forum theory-crafting. The truth is: when you use a real weapon, properly, you don't come back.
He also survived a shot to the head… the aftermath became clear when he started slapping tariffs on half the world.
