You can direct them so that it’s not a direct shot to the descending aorta. You get immediate medical attention. You have to deal with whatever else happens (blood loss, complications from surgery, rehab and recovery, chronic pain, PTSD)

Would definitely be the wrong note

The aorta is going to be close so probably not a dead center shot

Then you picked someone with bad aim.

Yes. That would set my loved ones up for generations. I'd take my chances.

I bet they'd waste it pretty quick. Easy come easy go

and if there were docs right there, you could be under and in surgery within minutes.

If I did I think i'd point them to the aorta

I got shot in the abdomen once for no money at all. My employer was a dangerous guy and sold drugs. I had turned against

So would I die to give my family $100 million? Yes.

Heck...my wife would probably pull the trigger.

It is unlikely that you die based on the stipulations

Medute

1/26/23 4:50pm

So we can't ask to die? I think i'd prefer to die if gutshot. The $100M is going to do more good for my kids than I

You can kill yourself after. If you can’t do that, then you have to live

Medute

1/26/23 5:10pm

ok. then I'd take $5M off the top to have a hitman snipe me right after the check clears

shimmy

The odds favor death or a quality of life not worth living.

Backcountry

1/26/23 5:05pm

So superkid, youre telling me even if you were guaranteed a full recovery you

Backcountry

The stipulations are clear. They are going to shoot you in the abdomen but

One additional Q: Can I play the piano anymore?

I don't want to brag, but my kids would rather have me than an incremental $100MM

Doubt it

Backcountry

1/26/23 8:02pm

Yeah - I'm not going to ask my kids about that.

The bullet would bounce off my washboard abs so 100% I would

What caliber handgun? I've been shot in the back and had to have surgery because it hit me in the colon, appendix, etc.

Let’s do a standard military issue 9 mm - Beretta M9

$100 million and a cool scar? What's the down side here?

A friend from high school was killed letting his friend shoot him

Do medical expenses come out of the $100M? 😉

Eddie

1/26/23 4:57pm

Nope. Unless I could ensure it is a glancing blow. I don’t want any injuries

What about taxes? Where do I sign up?

If it's a clean shot that doesn't hit your spinal cord or major artery, are all
