Distraught guy shots himself in the chest in front of his wife. dude stands there for 20+ seconds before dropping. Thats how long someone could stay in the fight after a "good hit" in the upper center chest. Crazy!
Not too graphic just some blood running out of the wound. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ea1_1439559827 |

Not a CNS hit, no reason for him to drop like a sack of potatoes. Chest trauma is very survivable given the organs aren't destroyed and you have good medical care quickly. Being shot is all about mindset. Just because you're hit doesn't mean you're dead. Finish the fight.

Bitch doesn't even try to help.
Sucky chick to kill yourself for |

At least the jackass only shot himself instead of store full of innocents.

Needs more descending aorta involvement for more instant death, he may have nicked it, definitely got some lung... Probably just passed out from the initial "man this sucks, I immediately regret my decision" shock
|

Crazy world we are living in when you can “CLICK” and see shit like that.
|
|
Dam...
More reason to remember to keep shooting until the threat stops. ETA: is it me or did he actually not mean to pull the trigger.. With all the fumbling it looked like he thought he was just scaring her with the " I'll just kill myself" routine and he ND'd. |
|
wow. that was very businesslike. it's like "hey can I get a pack of smokes, oh and FML!!!!"
|

|
|
I really wonder if right after he shot himself, as the light was fading, he thought that was a terrible idea...?
|
|
Meh, really not that shocking. Brain was still perfusing and cns is intact. Depending on what was damaged inside possibly could have put his feet over the level of his heart after he hit the floor and woke him back up

Handguns positively suck at stopping threats and should serve as a stop-gap for a RIFLE or a last ditch maneuver while exiting. |

Not as graphic as the one security guard video where he shot himself in the chest with a shotgun. In that one it obviously hurt way longer than he thought it would.
This video he did look like he did immediately regretted pulling the trigger. He seemed to calmly set the gun down like he was wondering "I'm I dead yet?" |
|
That ain't shit. Where is the video of the FSA, guy with his lower half blown off, guns piled in front of him and he is smoking a cigarette.
Found it, thought he was smoking but he wasn't http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=27f_1383868873&comments=1 |

It looks like the angle of the shot was not dead center but to his left . He probably took out the left lung, but may have either missed or just grazed his heart.
Looked kind of like a deer after getting hit through the chest with an arrow. Gets a little wobbly at first and then drops. |

I've shot several deer and know of others that were shot through the heart and ran out of sight before dying. When they were gutted sometimes there wasn't enough heart left to recognize it.
Others shot through the heart would drop like they were hit in the head. |

Why would you shoot yourself in the chest Fear of surviving with part of your head/face/brain missing? I just don't see how you can fuck it up with a gun to the side of your head. Either way you would likely atleast get knocked unconscious I understand that people do, but most people are retarded anyways. |

Fucker didn't even move stood there for a good 15 seconds got wobbly and fell over |

Took a class last weekend where the instructor, (retired LEO, SWAT, trained thousands of officers), said he's seen upwards to 4 minutes.
Moral of the story, pistols can be poor fight stoppers. |

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's always the person screwing it up or bullets doing crazy bullet stuff. |

So I wonder what was going through his mind after he pulled the trigger
Seems like it was rather impulsive |
