How tall was the self inflicting wound fall? There aren't a lot of tall buildings near Everett.
Maybe it was 3 bullets to the back? He was probably an engineer. Engineers can figure out how to purposely shoot themselves in the back more than 1 time with the same or multiple guns. Some plywood, rope or string, glue gun, and miscellaneous items, that's all you need really...and a gun with bullets. Let's start a project "automated self immolation chair". I'm going to set-up a weekly meeting with you all until a prototype rev A is complete. We'll start this morning with a 4 hour DFMEA followed by a three hour brainstorming session. We'll need a business plan if we want approval for resources. I've just discussed the objective with my boss. She said no, and to take the trash out. And wash the dishes. It was an abrupt end of project but we learned valuable lessons. I'll have a report out before Friday 5pm. We'll be going out for drinks if you want to discuss details. Ah yes! Another successful project completion!
Completely on point. I am an engineer. If I were to self inflict gunshots, I would 100% design a contraption that would shooot multiple times. Need to make sure.
Also need to hide this contraption while I am in the dying process. To make sure people know it was self inflicted.
What kind of ice is there that can hold at least 14ksi during projectile launch? It may have to be reinforced with graphene.
