Why was it such a big deal to Tommy to become a made man if it meant getting shot in the back of the head?

I don't get it.

"They even shot Tommy in the face, so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral."
>gets shot in the back of the head
BRAVO SCORSCISSORS

exit wound, Zapruder

>open coffin
What is it with americans and wanting to look at corpses? Close that shit up and screw it down you fucking sickos.

I'm no /k/ but is that not a 9mm round pistol? would it not go through her head like tommy's in OP's pic and into his arm?

I assumed that after he was dead they shot him again.

>I don't get it.
It was among the italians. It was real greaseball shit.

what movie?

It's just Scorcese being edgy and thinking this looked badass. But yes he'd injure himself shooting like that.

Reckless as he was, I can almost see him doing that in character.

Casino

Home Alone.

For me, it's Garlie.

My Uncle Vinny

Anyone who isn't retarded did too, it's very easy to understand and I'm assuming the guy you replied to is trolling.

Maybe it would miss and go over his forearm but this shit would be messy. When he tilted her head over he would get bloody brain chunks all over himself.

Real greaseball shit

Stop or My Mom Will Shoot!

Get Shorty

Why do you think Tommy knew he was going to get shot? He just made a stupid mistake that was unrelated to what he did to become a made man.

it still makes no sense to me. Its like the bullet curved or something. the red line is where the bullet should've come out of but it took a turn into the white line. guess they also that thing from wanted that let curve bullets.

wait a minute
i thought paulie was the boss
does this mean thst paulie put the hit on tommy?

Bullet bounced around inside the skull before exiting.

Wtf is he grabbing his suit too? how did he pulled the trigger?

His face was messed up. Could the narrator tell the difference?

Not like he's doing the autopsy.

>bullet
it's a lazer beam, fucknut.

this confused me too. I haven't ever been made so I don't know what it's like being shot in the back of the head but it doesn't seem like something I'd be stoked about.

friendly reminder this was actually based on true events

its a .32 calibre, not as powerful as a 9mm. whether it could penetrate 2 sides of a skull i have no idea, but i wouldnt chance having my arm on the other side like that

>In November of 1975, Tamara Rand was murdered in her home. She was shot five times in the head, and a silenced .22 pistol with split, ‘dum-dum’ bullets were used. On Rand’s neck were the restriction bruises, indicating her head was held as she was shot. The split bullets did not have the velocity to enter, traverse and exit a human skull, not injuring the murderer’s arm. One bullet did exit through Rand’s ear.
