A claim that a fixed percentage of all shots is fatal needs caution: public-health statistics count people injured, not every bullet fired anywhere. In the United States in 2022, more than twice as many people had nonfatal firearm injuries as died from firearm injuries. Those counts describe outcomes for people, not the chance of surviving a particular shot.
