Clinical literature confirms that individuals can survive gunshot wounds to the head due to factors such as low bullet velocity, trajectory bypassing critical midline structures, and prompt surgical intervention.
The claim states that shooting someone in the forehead from point blank range can fail to kill them. This is an empirical statement about survival after close-range cranial trauma. Multiple medical papers detail cases where patients survived penetrating head injuries or gunshot wounds to the head, often depending on trajectory and velocity. Therefore, the evidence supports the claim.
