Question

What is the chance of living after shooting yourself in the mouth with a gun?

Answer 1

most of the people that live after doing this "chicken out" at the last secound and pull away. either way live or die its not a good outcome

Answer 2

Small, but it could happen. Can you imagine life afterwards with no face or jaw? You wouldn't be doing anything, just laying there with feeding tubes in you while someone changes your diapers. It has, and does, happen.

Answer 3

it happens.

Answer 4

Depends if u shoot straight up and blow your brains out then yeah, or down to your throat where you can't breath, than yeah you will die.

However, depending on where you aim, you can have brain damage, and become a vegetable with a plug on a hospital bed. Or you can become like Britney Spears in that one South Park Episode!

However, I do hope that you are just asking this for knowledge only! I stand by my right to answer your question as a general knowledge question!

Answer 5

There is no guarantee that any given action will kill you.  People survive the most amazing suicide attempts.

The problem with guns is, when they don't succeed, they leave a mess.  People who survive such attempts are usually maimed and/or brain damaged for life.  Your problems have to be pretty bad to be worse than spending the rest of your life as a brain damaged quadriplegic supported by machines and fed through tubes.

If you're considering suicide, contact your local Suicide Prevention Center and talk to them about it.  Things may not be as bad as they appear to you.  Chances are, they can help.

Answer 6

When I was growing up a kid in school shot him self that way and survived - it was really sad.  He was never the same.  I don't know the odds, but the risk isn't worth it.

Answer 7

well 50% i suppose because you could die if you shoot a certain important part which could affect the other parts however it could just be you didnt and i think then it would be fine and by the way this answer is just a try nit sure just trying to help

Answer 8

Why do you ask?  I hope you don't intend to do it.  You will not go to heaven and you will give up the potential to correct what you feel is wrong in your life.  You will also forfeit the chance to be happy again.  

Some people change their mind at the last minute and shoot their face off instead of blowing their brains out.  A man in my area shot his eye out.  The chance of living after shooting yourself in the mouth is overall, pretty slim.  Please don't do it.  Ask God to help you get through this hard time and remember, this too shall pass.

Answer 9

I have to assume you are kidding.

Answer 10

God% chance!
