Anatomy of a headshot: - The head - The shot

"Headshots are not 100% fatal" -character gets shot in head -bandages their hand

My great-grandfather survived being shot in the head. He fought in World War II when a bullet hit him in the back of the head and exited through his nose. He was considered to be dead, but somehow he survived, returned home and lived 92 years before his death. Great man to me.

I survived a headshot. It entered my right eye, and came out of the top of my head. I'm getting my right side back slowly. I'm going on 10 months now.

Congratulations everyone we’re officially on the FBI watch list 👍

Guy: Bullets will be 90% fatal Game developers: you mean 9 percent?

"The gravitational constant is ten." Truly a physicist at heart.

A friend of mine survived a head shot, but he did not tell the story. For a long time he couldn't talk at all, and when he did finally learn to talk again he did not remember anything about the gun shot. He required 24/7 care after that. His body survived the head shot, but the person he had been no longer existed.

What many people don’t realise about that scene in Joker is it was actually improvised, Joaquin Phoenix snuck a gun on set and shot Robert De Niro for real as part of his method acting.

Respect to the dude who tried this out and told everyone how it works

I’m a paramedic. The human body is incredibly resilient. I had a early 20s male a couple years ago that shot himself in the head with a handgun (I didn’t see the gun) I heard from someone it was a 9mm someone else said a 38. The dudes brains were hanging out but he had almost perfect vital signs and was maintaining his own airway. I don’t think he survived in the end but it’s certainly doable.

I had a family member survive a headshot with a 22 at close range. She still had some physical disabilities but otherwise she is fully aware and fine. Very informative video.

I knew the wound channel could be incredibly damaging from a high powered rifle shot but didn’t know much more. This is interesting in general but I also work for funeral homes doing body removals so your video answered a few questions I’ve had. Thank you.

This a very long comment. Also if anyone responds please don’t be rude. This is a very touchy subject and I know how the internet can be lol. I was hesitant to share this story at first.. typing this made me feel a shit ton of anxiety since I rarely comment on anything online. But for some reason I felt inclined to. First, I’d like to say it’s crazy how many people in the comments that survived or knows someone who survived situations like these… I appreciate your knowledge and I’m glad you’re able to talk about it and inform people. I lost someone unfortunately due to such circumstances a few years ago.. she was my sister. She was shot 17 times and the first shot was to her head. Watching this has at least brought me some awareness on what she may have experienced and the injuries she endured.. as if more truth was shone on the situation. Instead of the scenarios I came up with in my mind due to my own ignorance. I never ran away from wanting to know what happened to her. It’s like I wanted to know every detail as if I’m the one investigating her case. I always wanted to inform myself as much as I could because for some reason not knowing does more damage to me. I already knew some of the info in this video, my brother is very knowledgeable on guns and has taught me gun safety, differences in caliber, and velocities in a responsible manner when I was younger. This year in August will mark 5 years since she was killed. She was 26 years old when it happened. My sister had goals, and great things she wanted to accomplish.. She never had any kids although she dreamt of having a family of her own. I am now 25 realizing how young she actually was. She did not do anything to deserve that. Her life was taken away by someone selfish and evil at heart. We miss her and think about her everyday. Once again, I don’t normally do this I’m not coming on here with a sob story. (Though I was sobbing while typing this) But I feel like maybe someone will read this who probably experienced losing someone they love dearly in a traumatic way. The pain never goes away, it just gets easier to manage. I learned in the worst way, that sometimes you won’t get an answer for why certain things happen. The investigator literally said “sometimes there is no reason, sometimes people are just shitty people” and that stuck with me since.. And the person who did it, was in fact a shitty person. I hope anyone who experienced anything like this remembers that the person you lost loves you dearly and even though the world moves on, they know for a fact you that you’ll never forget them. They see you and how hard you try. They’re with you always and they would want you to live life the best way you can even if it’s without them. Experience life and create wonderful memories. That’s what I believe my sister is thinking and I don’t doubt that the same goes for anyone else. 🖤

The best phrase ever “the more velocity,the more ouch”

I dont know if you still check these old videos comment section, but i have recently survived a point blank headshot feom a 9mm. If you would drop an email, or some form of communication, i would love to do a collab of some sort, or even jist talk about my wxperience, and of course ill provide proof, like some pictures of my head after they removed a large chunk of the right side of my skull during the initial surgery. I was even able to get pictures from my recent cranioplasty surgery, where they put in a prostetic skull plate in to repair my head. Watching your video has just left me more bewildered than i already was at my survivval. Despite being a point blank shot, the bullet glided along the right side of my skull until the fragments settled, some of which i still carry just behind my forehead. Thank you for shedding more light on my experience!
