X73: Intentional self-harm by rifle, shotgun and larger firearm discharge

The group of conditions referred to as "Intentional self-harm by rifle, shotgun and larger firearm discharge" involves incidents where an individual deliberately uses a rifle, shotgun, or another type of large firearm to inflict harm upon themselves. The manner which the harm is inflicted can vary widely, and the areas of the body that are most commonly affected are often those that can be easily reached by the individual, such as the head, chest and abdomen. The resulting injuries are typically severe due to the high kinetic energy of these firearms, and complications can include damage to critical organs, heavy blood loss, and bone fractures. Psychological distress or mental illness often precedes these incidents. The progression of these conditions is often rapid, with immediate onsite medical treatment being critical to survival and recovery.
