I know there are plenty of cases in which someone has survived a shot through the brain, or in which only part of their functioning is impaired, but for the most part, why does a bullet randomly aimed at someone’s head kill them nearly instantaneously? Rather than just losing eyesight or the ability to move an arm or leg. Thanks!

Most bullets don’t make a perfect bullet size hole through the body, they shatter and along with bone they cause large portions of damage, if the inner part of your brain is damaged its near immediate death, the further the damage is from the main center the higher your chances of survival, but the brain has so many blood vessels even if you survive the initial wound you’d bleed out quickly. Gunshot wounds are still one of the worst wounds you can get and death rates for gunshot wounds to the head are at 90%.
