People survived a shotgun to the head
A better question is how are you are bleeding out for another 1.7 minutes?
Usually buck because its the more common/cheaper round and because your average muppet doesn't know that slugs are even a thing. Which buck or slug wouldn't affect the low lethality level when you angle the shotgun so high that you're pointing it at your nasal cavity. Even with a .50bmg all you'd do is cleave your face in half, lose both eyes, and leave your brain mostly intact.
Better question is how cyanide has a bleed time of 1.8
Imagine being so bad at life that you try to end it only to fail at even hitting a target at two inches.
Cyanide isn't an instant death like the movies, it's actually a rather slow and very agonizing death that can take minutes to kill you.
The spinal cord just thinks the brain has gone down to the shop for a pack of cigarettes, and patiently waits until he turns 1.8, then his stepdad kicks him out and tells him to get a job.
What the hell does it even do?
This may be 100% bullshit but as a I remember from gen chem it basically spoofs another chemical used in cell respiration and stops that process.
There's other stuff on your head than your brain.
The 1% are people who put the barrel under their chin and just blow the front of their face off.
Probably birdshot, but it doesn't even matter because -- you can blast your face open with whatever kind of projectile you like, and not destroy the brain.
Looks like your average latino
What am I supposed to be seeing?
DIOS MIO! AYYIIIII
That guy didn't shoot himself, he bit down on a blasting cap.
they missed.
looks an awful lot like the guy who ate his fal
No he didn't
It is either cyanide or another chemical, but it essentially breaks down a certain compound, and it prevents your cells from oxygenating. It suffocates you at a cellular level, creating what is a terrible, burning sensation throughout your entire body until your cells all fail.
You die of shock, organ failure, brain failure, suffocation, all at once
I'm amazed the percentage is that high, from an obsolete, bird killing platform
Maybe it only counts the bleed out time for non-lethal hits, such as the classic face remodeling shot that doesn't touch the brain.
Please don't do that.
If memory serves, it binds irreversibly to your mitochondria (The powerhouse of the cell), preventing it from producing energy.
