Falling/getting thrown out of the window doesn’t suck. Stopping and landing does

I mean, it won't kill you, but it definitely would suck
Right? And you know it must be fun because all the Russian Oligarchs seem to die from it whenever Putin needs money!

Well that's random.
I needed that information actually
2nd floor, serious injury is more likely than death if you have an ok landing. It's the bullet holes in the head that are the likely cause of death.
M2 Browning .50 Caliber machine gun is the most accurate and lethal if you want to deal serious blows.
