Leonard's suicide is (understandably) sanitized. Firing an M-14 rifle with the muzzle in, or close to, a person's mouth would essentially disintegrate that person's head (from the gas expansion more than from the bullet). Col. La Garde details a similar (using a 1903 Springfield rifle in .30-06, the ballistic equivalent of the 7.62 mm cartridge used in the M-14) suicide in his 1916 book "Gunshot Injuries."
