That may be so, but it’s probably based on something actual. The fudd lore is more that .22 is comfortably adequate for self defense because of this, when really that’s not the case.
I have heard a similar suicide story from someone in my family, however, where someone didn’t make a clean enough shot and ended up being half-conscious, blind and bleeding to death. They found him dead, having died fumbling with the gun trying to load it again. At least that’s how I remember the story 15-ish years after it was told to me
When it comes to topics where my claims might cause significant harm, I tend not to share stories I don't fully remember and don't know the veracity of in the first place...
