Re: Shot to the head
When I grew up my dad told me about a farmer in the district who tried to commit suicide with a shotgun and survived (ammo unknown).
He put the barrel under his chin and pulled the trigger. Front of his face was shot off, but he survived. His face was in a bad shape though.

Re: Shot to the head
So what is the moral of the story, aim for the heart or aim for the head?

Re: Shot to the head
*****************
Our neighbors brother did this as well, shotgun under chin, head probably held far back. He shot entire face away, just a living skull with no jaw.
We were told he lived for a few years there after, I do not know cause of death.
Her husbands brother made a home anti theft device for his car, a shot gun tied to steering column and string to clutch or break ? He caught himself out.
Both incidents were in Rhodesia, the Henns and the Du Bruin families.
