    Also, uh, if you have any doubt in your fortitude whatsoever, do not watch them.

    Seriously.

      For anyone who is curious but might not want to watch the video, here’s a description I found that a friend of mine who watched it says is accurate:

      Description

      he got shot in the neck by a high powered rifle and instantly litres of blood spewed out as he slumped over. He likely won’t survive.

        Dude could have fell off his seat and onto a trauma operating table and still died.

        He tensed up and stared off into the distance like he was gone instantly. Probably hit in the spinal.

          Heavy leaking artery. Not as a bad as that Buffalo Sabres goalie in the 90s getting cut by a skate

          Its like if you had a grocery bag full of red water, and then poked a hole in the bottom. It was steady and rushing out of his body, for a second or two before he went limp and slid out of his chair and onto the ground. It was very quick but you still have enough time to see a shocking amount of blood.

        Lol, that sounds like my first RE4 playthrough

        RE4 Spoiler and potential gore

        the chainsaw dude literally decapitating my man Leon, literally scarier than any other enemy in the game, solely for the gorey part

      Yep yep yep this x100, if you have PTSD or just have never seen or cannot handle extreme gore, probably actually do not watch the clip.

      This is an extremely legitimately trigger warning worthy video clip.
