Or do they actually blow peoples heads to pieces?

About a decade ago one of my friends shot himself in the head with a shotgun, but before he did it he wrapped a blanket around his head so his parents didn't have to see or clean the brain splatter.
Poor lad

Why don't you test it and find out

If the bullet has enough energy, hydraulic shock will cause the head to blow apart.

the best way to accomplish such a task is to use a caliber with a lot of 'volume'...such as a high-powered 12ga shotgun or rifle. pistol calibers have less propellant so less volume of expanded gasses.
the muzzle should be held tightly in full contact with skin that once ruptured allows the expanding gasses to enter the skull.
it's not the projectile that does the wall painting...it's the gasses.
guaranteed to work.

Hahaha, what expanding gasses? Where are they being released from, what generates enough gas pressure to cause a skull to explode? Do you know how much force that requires?
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this
post didn't die in a fire!

^ the gasses from the bullets/gun coming out of the barrel ?? 🙄

Like I said it's hydraulic shock that causes the head to explode. Fire a shotgun slug at someone from 10 feet away and it'll make just as much of a mess as an up close and personal shot.

Heads dont actually explode, they just get a big hole torn in them and flesh splatters everywhere, giving that impression.
Actor, no, do you realize how much gas would need to be created or contained for that effect? To burst a skull (bone!)?
I didn’t even have to know much about firearms or look anything up, it’s fairly basic reasoning.
