How did they do the suicide. I remember reading from Ben Coccio's Zero Day Diaries that he used a Co2 pump. Does anyone know how that works?

I am not sure on how the CO2 works, likely in the same respect as a paintball gun albeit instead of a ball, the tube owuld be loaded with blood and gore, there are instructions online for a "Compressed Air" bullet hit, if You would like the link, I could link You there

It's cool. Thanks.

You can build the equipment for this effect for about US$15. The hard part is getting the viscosity of the fake blood right so it doesn't react like water when it hits something.
