'Tis Only a Bullet in the Brain	comment	Almost always, shooting someone in the head is going to kill them, because the brain contains your consciousness and everything you think about, and what tells your body how to move and what to do allowing it to function. In fiction, dismissing a Boom, Headshot! as Only a Flesh Wound is exclusively the domain of a badass and shows just how much of a Determinator or Made of Iron a character is. Sometimes the injury will be Hand Waved as a lot less serious than it looked, and sometimes it will merely be implied that the character is just that tough. In Real Life, in relatively rare cases, people actually have survived a bullet to the brain, though it usually comes down to luck and the poor velocity of the bullet, rather than badassery. Slightly more common are cases where a bullet has lodged in the skull. It's actually very rare for someone to survive with their abilities and/or personality intact — most with brain injuries are left with disabilities and/or personality changes. May be defied with a Double Tap or Multiple Gunshot Death. Sub-Trope of Hard Head. This trope only applies to people who have no special powers other than the Rule of Cool. If they can regenerate or have some other bullet-defying superpower, it belongs elsewhere.

He managed to survive, because of where it hit, but was warned never to get worked up about anything because the stress might cause it to kill him. He heeded this advice until he received word that Jesus was being crucified, at which point he furiously ran to defend his Lord and Savior and fell over dead.

Admittedly it is slowly killing him but still, pretty cool. One can presume he was already badass enough not to injure himself (which is a constant danger in real life for pain-insensitive people). Really it is a case of Blessed with Suck, since not only is he unable to feel pain, he's unable to feel anything, including his girlfriend. MI6 has admitted that they are unsure how it didn't kill him, but he apparently lived long enough to make it to a doctor who did the rest. Presumably, he would have died had he not sought treatment.

Context is needed here - three friends make the mistake of their lives and participate in a drug deal, but one of them betrays another for the cash by covering his head in a jacket and putting about three bullets in at point-blank range. Fast forward to the present, the poor bugger is still alive but addicted to morphine to take away the pain - forcing the one remaining friend to perform a Mercy Kill. What most people take from this movie is the remaining guy vs the Evil Former Friend in a ridiculously awesome Car Fu duel in the finale.

'Tis Only a Bullet in the Brain / int_59da62aa	comment	The Courier in Fallout: New Vegas is shot in the head at close range, twice, and buried in a shallow grave at the very beginning of the game. Naturally, being the Player Character, they get better, though some quick work on the part of an escort robot and the local doctor, along with being the Fallout universe, could affect the outcome. Amusingly, if the player sets their character's intelligence stat to 1, Doc Mitchell will profusely apologize as he feels it was his fault for doing a shoddy job. With charisma stat at 1, he'll muse that the cause "must be frontal lobe damage". In an example of Gameplay and Story Integration, the would-be assassin's signature weapon is just that weak — it does 80 damage with two headshots to someone without armor, which indeed wouldn't be enough to kill you even if you had the worst HP possible. The fact that you got shot in the head and have drain bamage is also a plot point in the "Old World Blues" DLC, as it caused the Think Tank's equipment to hard-reset and actually work properly this time.

While he had to go through some physical therapy, the event just switched him to a different brand of crazy. One-shot villainess "The Absence" takes it to an absurd degree - because of a very exaggerated case of Dandy-Walker Syndrome, the bullet shot through her forehead but missed her brain completely, leaving a softball-sized hole drilled through her skull.◊ Dick Grayson took a bullet to the back of the head towards the end of the Return of Bruce Wayne arc. It was intentionally underpowered so that it wouldn't kill him instantly. Rather, it caused severe bleeding in his brain that would eventually kill him unless he received medical attention.

'Tis Only a Bullet in the Brain / int_c0d295c4	comment	Team Fortress 2: Snipers deal 50 damage with their Sniper Rifles, with an x3 multiplier for headshots and an additional x3 multiplier if they spend four seconds charging the shot. Four classes (the Demoman, the Pyro, the Soldier, and the Heavy) have more than 150 health, and as such can survive uncharged headshots. What's more, if the Heavy takes out an unlock called the Fists of Steel, he can easily survive any sort of headshot (300 health base, 40% damage resistance against ranged weapons while holding his Fists out in front of his body). Originally, Snipers equipped with the Croc-o-Style kit could not be killed by headshots, which instead leave them with one hitpoint remaining no matter how healthy he was before, though if they already have exactly one hit point it's still lethal. Later on, the Set Bonus was reduced to a cosmetic effect, and the Darwin's Danger Shield granted a small reduction to bullet damage that, together with its 25 health bonus, is just enough for a Sniper at full health to survive one uncharged headshot. Even after that though, the Danger Shield was reworked entirely to protect against fire damage and afterburn. A bullet resistance ubercharge from the Vaccinator will reduce a fully charged headshot to a mere 38 damage. Every class in the game is capable of surviving that, even a Spy wielding the Kunai which has the lowest maximum hitpoint total possible.

He requires some surgery afterwards, but he's tough enough to shrug it off without any lasting damage. In the Origins backstory, Chief Judge Fargo shoots himself in a fit of despair. He survives thanks to timely intervention of his colleagues, though he needs to be frozen and transported into the future, with a better medical technology, before he can regain his full faculties. Even then, he never truly physically recovers.

He survives, but only because elite neurosurgeon Dr. Kenzo Tenma operates on him. The series does point out how hard it is to safely remove a bullet to the skull though, and points out that Dr. Tenma is the only one in the entire hospital (an enormous complex) skilled enough to have a chance at it. At the very end of the series, he's shot in the head once more, possibly without even losing consciousness, and again survives thanks to Tenma. Though Johan may be technically breaking the "no supernatural powers" rule.

'Tis Only a Bullet in the Brain / int_d796465d	comment	The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers has the Ascended Fanboy Ironfist, who conspicuously has a bullet hole in his head for the entire run of the comic. The Transformers: Mosaic "Dead Men's Boots" has very dark Foreshadowing as to why that hole is there. Ironfist developed a bullet that automatically targets Transformer brains, but his prototype was sabotaged by a rival and he was shot in a lab accident. The perfected models are later shown to be very effective. Subverted in that while he was not immediately killed by the shot since the prototype was not perfected, he will inevitably suffer a Time-Delayed Death. He keeps on going with his work and the mission in spite of this. Amusingly, he's probably the least hardcore Wrecker ever in the entire history of the team, being less "badass" and more "one of the The Knights Who Say "Squee!"." In Spotlight: Hardhead, Hardhead takes a plasma blast in the face from a Brainwashed and Crazy Nightbeat, which is the sort of thing that should typically kill a Transformer. True to form for the series, it turns out that 'Hardhead' is a Meaningful Name, and all he has to show for being shot in the face is a small, smoking hole squarely in his visor. Leads to a Mood Whiplash, after which he promptly ignores having been shot in the face.

This would have killed an ordinary man at least twice over, but for the Made of Iron Bean, all the headshot accomplishes is scrambling his brains a bit, which get unscrambled when she rams him. And it ultimately has little effect on him, as evidenced when he proceeds to shoulder-check her car and lift the damned thing right off its front wheels when she tries to ram him again! He was wearing a bullet-proof headband.
