Discussion Why All These Useless Threads About the Use and Effectiveness of Firearms?

[SilentSadness]

It's actually surprisingly common to survive gunshot wounds if administered incorrectly. Even Hideki Tojo (chief of the imperial Japanese army in World War 2) failed to kill himself:

he shot himself in the chest with a pistol, but missed his heart

I however agree that a gunshot to the head with a standard size weapon, especially if untreated, would be virtually impossible to survive. I think people can overthink suicide methods sometimes, hard to blame though since the punishment for failing is so absurd.
