It could be fake, part of the video on gun safety to show why you shouldn't put an unholstered gun into your pocket. If so then I think that they did the job and got their point across which it seems was the main idea.
With the arguements about the shot being "soft", have you seen that video where the guy in the police department pulls out a .45 (IIRC) and shot himself in the head? There were alot of "Well, the sound was too soft" or "it didn't blow half his head off" or "It's fake" and then when you goto Snopes.com you find that it was, real.
We, as a gun community that should know better, have watched way too many movies where a .32 is fired that sounds like a CZ-52 with hot loads going off, hits the target, and instantly creates a fine mist of human flying in all directions.
When in real life, it's not that "glorified" (if I can use that word, there are many more that would be appropriate but I can't think of them right now). Also, blood loss works in different way depending. When you bust your head open you think that gallons of blood just poured out and you're already dead but didn't realize it. Same with the nose. It just looks as if you've bleed to death but in reality there is just alot of blood in that area that pours out quickly.
As I've said, it could have just been part of the video but you can't just discount something because you've seen it on tv or read the "facts" in some obsure book/magazine that the author has never seen what happens in real life and just puts forth their opionion or to make the movie/show more "gory". They are looking for the $$ and will adlib all they can in order to get it.
