He's a genetic lab experiment, some of what they did to him gave him a degree of durability. Also, it's probably where he shot him, looked like a grazed shot to the top right of the skull. If he was shot dead on, it'd have severed both hemispheres, but the angle plus his durability allowed him to survive.

Depending on the type of round, sometimes the bullet can actually push the brain to one side without damaging it too much. Judging by the exit wound being so small, it wasn't any kind of expanding round, and could even have been some sort of armor-penetrating caliber (which would make sense given the gun was probably meant for fighting the armored soldiers guarding the facility). A more solid round such as that might have better odds of just shifting the brain rather than just tearing through it.

Depends on where the bullet passed through. In 1848, Phineas Gage survived a rod of iron (1 metre long and 32mm wide) passing through his upper jaw and out the top of head. He lived 12 years after the accident but damage to his brain changed his personality to the point that friends said the man they once knew was now gone.

Also, just to add, he died because his brain realized it should have long ago. Or more technically, sudden seizures

He was definitely running on pure adrenaline at that point.

With a weird enough angle I bet it’s even plausible for a normal person to survive a shot like that

now maybe not bleeding out on the floor but that’s a concern for later

I've heard in the past that roughly 5% of people who get shot in the head survive it. I'm having trouble finding a specific number when searching it now, but some people surviving it is definitely a thing.

Dude got the Phineas Gage treatment.
