Fail

Armed with a realistic plastic replica handgun, a 34-year-old man on Friday attempted to rob a bank in Trimble, Mo., according to police. Unfortunately for the robber, one of the bank’s employees was able to retrieve a very real Smith and Wesson .357 revolver and shoot the suspect in the face, effectively ending the robbery attempt.

The U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri said Monday that Michael Oliva has been charged in federal court in connection with the attempted bank robbery and leading police on a high-speed chase. Oliva remains hospitalized and is in federal custody pending a detention hearing, WDAF-TV reports.

Another reminder why headshots aren't necessarily the best idea.

I read on the inturwebs that just a mere nick of a .357 is instant death. Why is this guy still alive?

No, that's a .45 ACP. A finger shot will blow your whole arm off, so I'm told.

Now, if the employee had merely racked the slide on a 12 gauge, it would have been all over for the bad guy. He would have dematerialized on the spot.

Good.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.




Looks like he's gonna need a paper bag in prison.
