    Say if you wanted to give the impression to the authorities when they arrive that you were wounded at the scene of a very exciting shootout, where on your body would you shoot yourself?


    I was thinking maybe a grazing shot to my forearm?

    I think the real question op is, who are you trying to set up with attempting to murder you and why?

    **** no, you'd never walk properly again......

    Forearm or thigh (if you can avoid the bone)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,878 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    I know the answer to this one.

    The best place to shoot yourself is nowhere.

    Would it leave gunpowder marks at close range?

    The arm nice juicy vein.

    I think there are tests and they can tell if you have fired a weapon.

    I have watched too many crime dramas on TV.

    You'd want to avoid the femural artery as well.

    There'll be residue on your hand and clothes from holding it, and if shot at close range, on the wound.

    So a contraption of some sort would be needed to hold the gun and shoot.

    I would presume the foot as people are always shooting themselves in the foot :D

    Thats what they used to do in ww1 to get sent home... but it was so obvious a spot you shoot yourself in they copped onto it.

    I really hope you are not being serious. That would be one of the worst places to shoot yourself... Some posters are clueless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,878 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    How are you going to aim a shot accurate enough to graze you without it being fired from such close range and angle that it could remotely look like you were wounded in a shootout by someone else?

    I'd say he is being serious, sur logically if you shoot in a hole it can't hurt as you're not making a new hole?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,202 ✭✭✭Immortal Starlight


    You are going to have to curve the shot.

    What about your internal organs. You'd be dead in minutes. As I said clueless

    The fleshy part of the thigh, just don't ask Bobby Baccalieri to do it for you.

    The bullet wouldn't touch any internal organs.
    The perfect plan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,776 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Probably the buttocks, given that it's the largest muscle and suitable far away fro anything essential (if you get the angle right)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I would go for a Forrest Gump injury and shoot myself in the buttock.




    ETA: Ooh, snap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,239 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    The hair? Does that count? That wouldn't do much damage

    .
    He goht shoht in the buttohks

    Shoot off a finger or something. You could claim it was close range and you put up your hand to push the gun away/protect yourself. That would explain the angle and the powder burns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭decky1


    could i shoot my wife and say the window was open and the bullet came in and hit her twice in the head?

    Plus you get to say you gave your shooter the finger.

    Police might get suspicious of a grazing injury, so if you really want to trick the police into thinking there is no way you inflicted the shot on yourself, then through the brain it is.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    They won't even question you about it!

    Big toe.

    I put a garden fork through mine once, and I hardly felt it, but there was a lot of blood. You'll want to go off-centre, to miss the bone. 9mm or .22 calibre only. It'll heal up in a week or two.
    Don't use a shotgun or you'll never see your toe again.

    Sorry, meant to say ear hole. Trying to make it painless as possible for the OP.

    Think outside the box op....just get a large hat, blast it with a shotgun from ten metres and then stick it on your head.

    Oh and rough cut a few lumps of hair off your head before putting it on...looks more convincing when you take it off and shows what a close shave you had.
