You can bet the old guy did not shoot him with an M1, would have been a different result.
Probably a .22
Which can still be very lethal.
They ricochet around inside your cranium, turning your brain into tapioca.
That’s pretty lethal.

"Richie loved to use 22s because the bullets are small and they don't come out the other end like a 45, see, a 45 will blow a barn door out the back of your head and there's a lot of dry cleaning involved, but a 22 will just rattle around like Pac-Man until you're dead"
