I mean... yeah... I guess it could have... you could have shot your own pc... as a stunt... to clout farm... on reddit... for... 0 monetary gain... at the loss of thousands of dollars of... pc hardware.

Yep.

That's... possible.

I guess.

Surelly somebody doing this on purpose would've avoided hitting a memory module.

DIMM modules cost and arm and a leg nowadays.

Lol, like a self inflicted 'aim to wound, not to maim' kind of injury, to stage a crime or get out of combat... hahaha!

Or they accidentally shot their own PC case and made up the bullshit about their neighbor.

People do really stupid things for attention.

So they did this and then got the neighbor to cry and receive criminal negligence charges affecting her for the rest of her life?

Yeah, that is some seriously stupid shit and I don't think anyone would do that for attention.

Someone next door like "yupp I'll go to prison and become a felon and never be able to afford renters insurance again for some reddit karma!"

People go on the internet and just lie?

Yes, like you here, prominently displaying your lack of understanding of ballistics, to great effect, for no apparent reason.
