Sever that, and you have seconds to live. In the neck you have the jugular and a couple of others. Superior vena cava maybe? Not sure. There's only so much I remember from listening to one side of medical phone calls.<BR/><BR/>While the .22 to the chin probably hurt a lot, it is just a .22. They can be very dangerous if they get in through some soft tissue then bounce around inside, but if they hit bone and don't penetrate, they just hurt without causing major damage.

She said Malarchuk stood and placed the rifle butt on the ground between his legs and the rifle discharged, striking him in the chin. He reportedly was belligerent with paramedics and with health center staff, refusing treatment."<BR/><BR/>"Oh hey hunny, I was just shootin rabbits. Damn things are swift... BANG!
