Simple premise. Wear a bullet proof vest, have a buddy shoot you in the heart, and let the hilarity ensue. We’ve seen the movie where he gets shot with pellet bullets, but legend has it footage exists from his pre-Jackass days on an actual gun being used on him. MTV wanted nothing to do with it, and its validity has been denied for years, but here is what Johnny had to say about it:

"That was a 'Big Brother' video, like, over 13, 14 years ago. I shot myself in the chest with a bulletproof vest. I had a .38," he explained. "I was really hoping the vest worked, because I didn't have any money at the time, and I could only afford the cheapest vest possible," he added”
