Does a bullet to the brain kill instantly?

Depends on many factors: caliber of bullet, velocity, direction, etc.... Generally, if a bullet damages both left & right hemispheres of the brain, the outcome will be fatal, but not necessarily immediate. Consciousness is often lost immediately. If a bullet travels front to back, or back to front and only damages one side of the brain, the undamaged side CAN compensate and the victim can recover to various degrees. Of course, large caliber bullets and shotgun damage to the head generally don't leave much chance for recovery. If anything, these types of weapons kill instantly, more or less.
