In a series of unfortunate events, a gaming PC was destroyed by a gunshot. It was an accident, and no one got hurt, but apparently, the gun was discharged by a dog.

When it comes to bizarre series of events, this one is right up there. Apparently, a gaming PC was shot, and that bullet could have hit the owner, so essentially the PC saved the user’s life. The weird part is that the gun was shot by a dog.

Reddit user ‘angelbabyzz’ took to the platform to detail the incident that occurred somewhere in the US. The user was fast asleep when, at some point during the night, a loud bang and broken glass hitting their face woke them up. Turns out, a gunshot came through the neighboring wall that hit their gaming PC, which changed the bullet’s trajectory away from the sleeping owner, as stated by the police.

The neighbour then rushed in to check up on the gamer and was sincerely apologetic about the incident. She claimed that her dog accidentally discharged the gun. The logistics of how that transpired are a mystery. The gamer who was the victim in this case is unsure about how the gun went off, but believes that it was an accident. Luckily, no one was harmed, and the insurance will likely cover the damages. If it doesn’t, the neighbor assured the victim she would pay for everything.

As for the gaming PC, it was mostly destroyed as the bullet seemingly entered from the back of the case behind the RAM slots, tore through the motherboard, the Trident Z RGB RAM, and shattered the tempered glass. There was debris everywhere, which likely damaged the other hardware as well.

It’s an unfortunate incident, and what’s also unfortunate is that the RAM got hit. Given the current state of the market, the same RAM sticks now likely cost significantly more than when the user purchased them.

The gunshot damaged RAM and motherboard.
