I wonder how many micromorts a shotgun to the head would be. A million? Ten million? A hundred million? And what would the LD50 of micromorts be? 500k?

- advisedwang 6y agowell 1 million is guaranteed death, so I would expect a likely-fatal event to be just under that.
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoYou can't survive a shotgun blast to the head. Most of your head will be mist.
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoA shotgun blast to the head is guaranteed fatal, so that would be 1 million micromorts (guaranteed death).
- slyall 6y agoPeople survive self-inflicted shotgun blasts. I understand because they flinch as they fire and the shot is not "head on". A notibil eexample is from the 1990 Judas Priest lawsuit. "[] placed a 12-gauge shotgun under his own chin and proceeded to fire the weapon, dying instantly. [] followed, but survived the self-inflicted gunshot wound with a severely disfigured face"
- lifeformed 6y agoIt's probably easier to think about how rare it'd be to survive a shotgun blast to the head. Maybe one a million chance? It's happened before. So perhaps 999,999 micromorts.
