The two wore bulletproof helmets used for military use on their heads and played the game by aiming and shooting the opponent with a rifle.
The helmet is a material that withstands strong shocks, but has no complete bulletproof function, and it is known that even a few millimeters of error can lead to fatal consequences.
Prout, who served in the Royal Marines for 10 years, was taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound, but died.
It was initially believed to have been a self-inflicted accident, but an investigation later found that a bullet fired by O'Donnell penetrated Prout's head.
O'Donnell initially claimed he didn't shoot, but the video and testimony the two filmed the shooting and shared with their friends became conclusive evidence.
O'Donnell was charged with murder and placed in jail.
The judge wrote that "drinking and playing dangerous games led to a terrible tragedy in which a friend eventually died."
The incident also made a big splash on social media. Netizens are saying that "Silly games produce silly results", "Why do you do this ridiculous thing?", "It's all because of alcohol."" be posting comments such as.
