WARNING: SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND THIS FOOTAGE DISTURBING
Footage of a young man who accidentally shot himself in the head after playing with a handgun has gone viral.
Luckily, the bullet simply 'grazed' against his skull, splattering the wall behind him with a small amount of blood.

The clip, which was initially uploaded to LiveLeak in 2016, has made a reappearance on the Internet with many condemning his actions as 'idiotic'.

He holds the gun to his head, pulling the trigger. However, the chamber is empty and it clicks. He then raises the gun to his head a second time.

The gun discharges a bullet and the boy was miraculously left with minor injuries.
I can't quite believe that he's managed to get away with this with such minor injuries. If I was him, I would have immediately gone to the closest shop and bought a lottery ticket and several scratchcards.

However, if I WAS him, I would have never played Russian Roulette on camera. This could've ended very differently.
Comments on the video are pretty damning.
User Drewniverse said: "After great research using only the best scientific minds and modern computer resolution technology, we have determined that this guy has not a single fucking brain cell in that waste of space he calls a head."
Dunbal added: "Don't play with an unloaded gun either. Here's a hint: guns are not toys."

However, Killroy said: "I call fake on this, 1- the angle is wrong, the gun went off while pointed from behind the right ear and would have exited out the top of his head (see the wall stain)
"2- The bullet would have blew large chunks of bone clean off the top of the head, thus requiring a meta plate be set in place to replace the bone.
"3- Doctors would have made an incision of approx 8-10 inches long to clean out and do a bit of exploratory surgery to make sure every thing else was clean and ready for a skin graft...
"I could go on and on and on ... this is just some lame attempt at getting views or 15 minutes of fame."

Whether it's real or not, everyone agrees that it's stupid.
No-one knows this kid's name, but hopefully he learnt his lesson and realised how much of a close call that was. Plus, who is the person filming him?! Why was this happening in the first place?! There's a lot of questions that need answering but sadly it looks like we'll never actually know the answers.
To everyone reading this, just... don't be stupid. This was obviously a massive error on his part. Don't do anything like this. Ever.
