A couple of interesting stories some are even on topic... I remember reading in a Guns and Ammo Annual from 1968 (pretty sure) regarding the humble .25 Auto. A man at a party goes to the upstairs of the residence and in a fit of depression shoots himself in the temple with said .25 ACP. And if I remember correctly here "feeling no ill effects, changes his suicidal thoughts and rejoins his fellow partiers." He subsequently died a few hours later.
Jim Cirillo wrote about shooting a bad guy several times in the face with a .38. Suspect goes down like the proverbial ton of bricks. Coroner is called etc etc. Suspect then raises up on his elbows and asks for a tissue to wipe his bloody nose. According to Jim, all fired rounds traced around his skull just under the skin.
And lastly. Local card sharp tries to cheat tough late night card game. Gets caught exercising his chosen profession. Sharpie decides to pull (supposedly) a .38 and fires at card table distance into the other gentleman. Said gentleman retrieves the .38 from the shooter and proceeds to cave in his skull with the empty gun thereby killing him. Story goes on to say the gunshot victim also later died.
