Nowadays we would sit back and accept our fate...for the most part. Many in the south would fight back but with a pussy govt like ours and the majority of people in this country believing in feel-good politics, this country could be changed into a dictatorship in a couple of weeks.

Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostA gunshot to the head, with the exception of something crazy like a 50 caliber, tends to put a small hole in the entrance and pink mist the back. It's not very dramatic at all and would make bad TV and video games if they showed reality.2012 GT500

Sometimes there is some " explosion" when shot at extreme close range ie: suicides or gun against head.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that happens in those instances because the gas has to escape somewhere too.
Only experience I have is some firearms knowledge and crime scene photos I've seen.Originally posted by Theodore RooseveltIt is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

You need enough energy and mass to concuss the skull to the point it explodes. Pretty much every common handgun round does not possess both qualities. Simple as that.Originally posted by PGreenCobraI can't get over the fact that you get to go live the rest of your life, knowing that someone made a Halloween costume out of you.

I think its easy to say "in that situation, i would have fought back" when history has shown otherwise.
Jews in extermination camp would volunteer to help clean bodies out of gas chambers if it meant they would stay alive for just one more hour/day/week, knowing that their turn was coming...but at least it wasn't imminent, and hey, they may just be spared! They might just rationalize that lining them all up in a ditch is just a means to scare the wits out of them, and surely it wont happen.
Its a horrible reality the rationale your psyche goes through to handle the intense trauma of anticipating your own death.
