I would say if they didnt killed themselves in private area i would guess it would be “legal” but in the moment someone dies its murder and thats then illegal.
I think you’re right, but it’s possible theres some kind of regulation against shooting another person, even voluntarily. Them both being drunk under their own volition wouldn’t enter into it. It would be Mona Lisa Perez, that lady who shot her boyfriend through a book for a YouTube stunt and killed him. She got 6 months for manslaughter.
I want to know how far they travel. Like if you’re out in the middle of the dessert, nothing around for hundreds of miles…no trees, no cities, just open air seemingly forever.
How long until the bullet just runs out of momentum? And there MUST be a point where it’s still technically traveling, but with so little momentum that if it hits a body it would just not even penetrate. Just kind of hits a person, and falls to the floor. It’s probably several miles, but that point HAS to exist SOMEWHERE, right?
It depends on the firearm and the round itself, and there’s some uncertainty based on the exact powder load, but that wouldn’t change things enough to matter.
I’m not willing to spend time looking it up, but I’ve seen a table of comparisons between common rounds’ lethality at given ranges based on set conditions. There’s always a point where lethality drops to zero, and it’s before the maximum flight distance.
Consent makes all the difference… but yeah bullets do tend to travel.

Are you suggesting the legal argument ad quod damnum: that it was, in legal fact, all fun and games until someone got hurt?
I wouldnt say it was fun and you definitly shouldnt do it.

Yeah and because they were drunk they couldnt really legally gave consent too.

Yeah, there’s math for it.

And next to zero chance that these drink numbsculls would have worked it out before their stunt with one another:-).
