I was sure he had grazed his big toe!
oh i thought he was going to miss himself lol
ohh i thout it was a paint gun so he got scrapes from the paint because when paint drys there no telling how sharp it can get so watch out!
How'd he get the scraps if he only shot a picture? ... Anyway, kinda cool.
Glass flying.
I thought that since he was in a LIVING room he wouldn't be able to die. . .yah, not very logical .
Or he say his reflection in a mirror.
Sorry "saw".
I originally said it was in a bathroom and he shot the mirror. But editors said he would most likely be seriously injured.
very good. u got me. i was thinking about starter pistols, shooting at himself through a toughened pain of glass or a gun with a bent barrel. keep up the good work.
ohhhh i get it he walked into a living room and he thought wouldnt it be cool if someeone dies in a LIVING room so then he shot himself to make this room the dieing room dundundun!!!!

I also thought a mirror reflection. As to the post above mine, I feel this is unnecessary to blog in the comment section. I find that offensive Leafan4Life. Otherwise, nice job for the sugmitter.
lol calm down note that im just kidding around and i live to c ppls reations 2 my comments so ty 4 doing tht i plan 2 do it mor 2 make u mor mad lol
wow Vlrma you are easily offended he is obviously just kidding gret teaser but a little hard to get keep up the good work
i just dont understand why anyone would shoot a picture
I was sure he had shot one of his toes too!
This is actually kind of a true story there was a man that shot himself with a low caliber gun in the head trying to kill himself the bullt nocked him unconsiose he woke up and tryed it again with the same result then tried it again! then after almost bleading to death he drove to the police station and turned himself in and had to have surgery.
So random!! Never would hav got that one.
how does he get scrapes from shooting a picture??
I thought thatt it was a bibi gun, I mean, it didn't say a bibi guns are real...
I thought he missed! Oh well!
What everyone else has said - grazed his leg or used a pellot gun of some sort.
I thought it was that he shot into a mirror and the glass flying was how he got the scrapes...
I would have thought 'shot at himself' would be more accurate, because he didnt acctually shoot 'himself' as a person. But nice teaser...
Nice Job! I really liked this teaser, but I thought it was a mirror also. Great teaser!
Yeah he didn't shoot himself, he shot an image of himself. BTW, LeafFan4Life, how did you come up with that and why did you have jane kill death because he was against her in a SCHOOL BOARD RACE??? U couldn't have a pair of hockey players or anything else???
yeh, i thought a mirror, scrapes from the glass
why wuld he shoot his portrait anyway? did he think he looks fat in it?
Oh! That is so cool!! I thought it was a mirror, though. The shards of glass could have rebounded and hit him! Silly me!
Hmm, the teaser clearly states he shot himself, not and image of him or any type of representation of himself, but actually himself. The answers says it wasn't himself at all.
I agree w/ sora.
Leaffan, where the HECK did u come up w/ that? :|
He shot a picture of himself (using a camera) holding a gun & real bullets...
the only thing more entertaining than this teaser was "the dying room" thanks LeafFan lololololololool
But why...? Doesn't one like oneself?
