We had a guest speaker yesterday, the state medical examiner, and he presented a lecture of firearm fatalities, complete with graphic slides of actual homicides, suicides, and accidental shootings
To be cynical, I would guess he brought the worst of the worst to prove a point; guns are bad. And I would venture to guess he is not a gun advocate. That said, most of the gsw's I have had are merely holes and some blood. Ones to the head do produce some brain matter on occasion and those shotgun blasts to the head can produce exactly what you can imagine. But having seen people hit by cars at 75 on the fwy or someone that jumped under a train make the gsw's minor in comparison.
