What does it feel like to get shot in the head?
Initially, their is this very loud buzzing, almost a sort of "ringing" type sound as to when it happens. Surprisingly it is very loud, like two bees inside of your ears, but sounds more like how your ears would normally ring, just uncomfortably loud. The initial "ping" as I call it, can be heard before the ringing commences, like someone hitting metal on metal, but it's high-pitched. After that, very loud and scary ringing commences, but no pain is registered at that moment. You feel very very tight pressure where you were shot, and you can feel warm blood seeping out, regardless of what people tell you. Your vision is blurred too, instantly, so as soon as you get shot imagine your vision like a light switch, going from perfectly normal to blurry. You also see these very dark red/black "lines" that are in your eyeball, like blood vessels that are actually there on your pupil. Every step you take you fumble around, like a drunk. You usually either don't know what has happened, or you're too scared to reach your hand around your head and see your fingers stained with blood. Usually after you black out, you're either in a hospital, or you don't wake up. If you don't pass out the pain will set in once the first "round" of adrenaline subsides. The pain is unbearable, like someone cut a hole into your skin, drilled a hole through your skull and is burning your scalp and brain. It can't be described, that's how awful it is. It is so unbearably painful, you think about every second that goes by, days feel like years until the pain completely diminishes. It is also very traumatic, thankfully the bullet didn't hit my brain or anything, it entered but thankfully I'm not screwed up or nothing. Perfectly okay :). Oh and with each heartbeat, it throbs like no other, and stings with each one. If you're considering testing this on yourself, do not, it sucks. Period. :) hope this helped!
Do you feel pain if you get shot in the head?
I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. I think the pain he felt in his heart and soul were far worse than the pain of the bullet. Theoretically, the bullet kills you before the pain receptors register the pain. Beyond hoping that i answered your question; I hope you find a way to forgive your dad and move on with the living you have left to enjoy.
How does it feel to be shot in the head?
Weird question, I know, and it probably doesn't make sense because you'd instantly die if you were shot in your head...or so they say. But I've been pondering this for awhile...some people get shot in the head but the bullet just grazes their skull or gets stuck in their skull and they still survive...if you were shot in the head, in those split seconds before death, do you think the person would feel anything at all? Not even the intense burst of impact from the bullet? I guess it would really depend on what part of the brain the bullet goes through, because your brain has a lot of different functions...do you just become retarded for a few seconds before dying? Or is it truly instant death (I'm not sure if I really believe in instant death, I think there is probably always a few seconds where they linger before death, no matter how they die.)
Does it hurt if you get shot in your head?
I hope they won't flag this question as violent or something. I am just curious. Suppose you are standing in a room not suspecting anything, when BAM! you get a bullet in your head from a gun with a silencer. Would you actually feel it (the terrible pain) and stay alive for a couple of seconds? or would it be one of those moments that you cant really feel, like falling to sleep for example?
Can you survive getting shot in the head?
It is possible to survive a gun shot through the head but it would be rare if it actually went through the brain or in the middle of the cranium. But if you just got shot like on the side of your head your fine. You can get paralyzed from getting shot in the head but it is more likely to get paralyzed from the vertebrate in your back. Some side affects from getting shot in the head are memory loss, confusion, or maybe not even knowing who anyone is. Most likely you would lose your motor skills unless it was just a minor shot.
Does a person shot in the head feel pain?
The brain per se has no sensory innervation, but the meninges covering it have . So, if someone is shot in the brain, then the bullet has to traverse through Scalp , Cranial bone and Meninges , before it enters the brain.If the victim is fortunate enough to survive the bullet injury and doesn't die or becomes unconscious instantly then , Yes, he will be in pain as except for the brain, rest of the structures damaged by bullet have sensory innervation.
If you put a gun to your head and shot yourself, would you hear the bang?
Remember that chicken experiment I did?Austin Duong-Van's answer to Why can’t we drink milk after eating chicken?Let’s try it out!I have a gun…Wait.I would die.Let’s keep it family-friendly and do some math.According to this article: The Speed of HearingIt would take 0.05 second for you to notice a sound.Now, with the gun (Glock 17)Muzzle velocity is 375 meters per second, or 1,230 feet per second (‘MURICA!), or 14760 inches per second (this is important!)Barrel is 4.5 inches long. It will take the bullet 0.0003 seconds for the bullet to arrive.That’s 1/166 of the time it takes for your brain to even register the sound. And this is assuming that the speed of sound is infinity.Assuming you die when the bullet hits, you in silence. At least to yourself.If you don’t die, well…You probably have bigger problems than your eardrums.RecapYou place a Glock 17 to your head. You pull the trigger. The ear takes 0.05 seconds to register a sound, and the bullet hits in 0.0003 seconds. And this is assuming the speed of sound is infinity. The nervous system isn’t good enough to carry the message to the brain.If you die instantly, you die in peace and quiet.If you don’t die instantly, you die in pain and with a ring in your ear.Stay safe, kids. Be like me. Don’t point a gun to your head for such experiments.
If you are shot with a bullet to the head, will you hear the sound of the gun before it kills you?
A gunshot to the head may not kill or even really hurt you. Especially pistol calibers, which typically leave a handgun at under 1400fps (.357SIG, down to as low as 750fps for typical .45ACP loads), and which tend to feature less “pointy” round- or semi-round-nose bullet profiles.The human skull is both hard and rounded. There are numerous documented instances of people having been shot with pistol calibers and had the round deflect off their skull, leaving nothing more than a skin-deep laceration.So assuming you don’t suffer immediate brain death due to a bullet penetrating a critical area of the brain: You’ll probably hear the sound.If the bullet is supersonic (i.e., travelling faster than about 1100fps) the first thing you will hear will be the impact with your head, followed by the sonic crack, and then the discharge of the gun.If the bullet is subsonic then you’ll hear the discharge, then the impact with your head, and there will be no sonic crack.
Do you die instantly from a gun shot to the head? Do you feel any pain at all?
Do you die instantly from a gun shot to the head? Do you feel any pain at all?In the movies, death is painless and instantaneous. In real life, it’s an undiluted horror story.It depends on the circumstances.Our Yugoslav ambassador in Germany got shot in the head by an Ustasha terrorist. They had a confrontation in the Yugoslav embassy in Germany. Ambassador Kolendić managed to deflect the shot. It still went into his head but he survived with no ill consequences. In the process, he removed one eye from his assailant. The police came and wanted to arrest the ambassador. (Rolović, ambassador in Sweden, was shot dead!)One of my patients was a soldier. He thought that his wife was cheating on him. So, he shot her. He thought that she was dead so he tried to commit suicide. He shot his face, both eyes, and part of the anteriormost part of his brains off and after several days of horrible suffering, died! Wife survived (excellent medical care in the Mpilo Central Hospital, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe! Ahem!).Vladimir Rolović - WikipediaGoogle GroupsPS. Thanks to Milos Zorica for correction.
