Like if you get shot in the head, your death is obviously instantaneous (in most cases) because your brain is literally gone. Does that mean that after getting shot directly in your heart, you would still be conscious for a little while until your brain stops due to the inability to get fresh blood/oxygen to it?

Slightly off topic but anyone who really wants to scare themselves should go read about CPR induced consciousness. I personally have been unlucky enough to see a man open his eyes while we were doing cpr on him. He also bit the lyrangoscope when the doctor tried to intubate him. And yes we were absolutely sure he was dead and in need of cpr. This is the same man that confidently walked into our cardiac room and said “I am having a heart attack, this is my fourth one and I am going to die this time”. He was right.
Some areas are actually looking into sedation protocols for cardiac arrest, though I’m unsure if any have been implemented.
