if i was to be shot in the back of the head and survive would this \/ be likely !


Question: If i was to be shot in the back of the head and survive would this \/ be likely to happen?
okay if i was about 19 years old and in the army and i got shot in the back of the head with an AK47 in a long range engagement with the enemy surrounding me. would i just freeze in my spot for a while and then eventually collapse?
would it affect my nervous system in such a way that i could only move my fingers for yes and no at first and then gradually build up the movements of my mouth so i can talk again.
it's for a book i'm writing and i havent studied neurology before so any help is much appreciated.
thanks

Answers:

your brain would swell, causing respiratory failure and loss of consciousness.
if you don't receive immediate help, you die.

it is such a traumatic insult to the brain that no regular functions are possible.
