Bullets move faster than nerve impulses. Ergo the brain is destroyed before it has the chance to feel pain. nitrogen gas is slower.

- DoctorOetker 7y agoThe cross section of a bullet is much smaller than the cross section of your brain. plenty of people have survived penetrations of the brain. Even if it is fatal, it is not necessarily instantaneous: check out "A Pure Formality", a magnificent movie that will horrify even the staunchest, unflinching atheist. From wikipedia's page on LN2: > the liquid-to-gas expansion ratio of nitrogen is 1:694 at 20 °C (68 °F) (so it can easily displace a lot of air in a small volume and) >As liquid nitrogen evaporates it reduces the oxygen concentration in the air and can act as an asphyxiant, especially in confined spaces. Nitrogen is odorless, colorless, and tasteless and may produce asphyxia without any sensation or prior warning
