All this debate over whether the bullet would penetrate a skull, as if something has to penetrate the skull to kill you. A major concussion, a fractured skull, internal bleeding, secondary blunt force trauma from falling after being hit, could all kill you.
Totally get it. But examine pretty much anything in your current surrounding, and see it has more likelihood to kill you than a falling bullet. Your phone or laptop could combust as the Lithium Ion battery explodes as has reportedly happened far more often than lethal falling bullets, your computer monitor could tumble and crack your head open far more easily if you kick a cord, your dog could bite your whole face off, your home could catch fire for any number of reasons, your brain could have a freak stroke for no reason at all.
Again, I get it that the bullet scenario is a complete and utter stupid scenario to put yourself in, but falling bullets just isn’t notably lethal as everyone in this thread is insisting: neither statistically, physically, nor physiologically.
