But is shooting yourself in the chest a common way of suicide?
Few people actually get to practice committing suicide, so they may make amateur mistakes.
Actually this recalls the old Building code, originated, I think, by Hippocrates. Basically. it required "eye-for-eye". If you were the builder, and a building fell, and injured, or kill someone, the same would be required of you. Building collapse killed the Owner's first born son---sorry, but your eldest son dies. etc.
