At the end, after taking the sharp end of a bullet, he’s still holding onto his cigarette. He may have asked someone to hold his beer, but he wouldn’t let go of his smoke.

His shooter friend was aiming for the heart.

A book worth reading if you are into military history is Hesketh-Prichard's Sniping In France. He mentions soldiers volunteering to be shot at while wearing enemy "bulletproof" items found on the battlefield… and being refused permission. As one might expect, the items are less than bulletproof.

Getting hit with a bullet is like getting hit with a sledgehammer. You may live, but you still have bruised (or broken) ribs or sternum.

His “friend” then hits him in the chest. Looks like the pistol is a 9 MM/.40/.45 class.

Should have gone for the head. Apparently, it’s more dense.
