It can be seen as both suicide and heroic... It is only heroic if there is a person worth taking that bullet for.

Absolutely not. It's self-sacrifice. Suicide is taking your own life because you don't want to live anymore. Taking a bullet for someone else is giving your life to save the life of another. Totally different.

Were you trying to arrange a scenario where this would happen?
If yes, then,yes.
If it just was a matter of fate that put you in a position to do that, then no. That would be an heroic act.
Besides, simply taking the bullet does not always mean you die.
Look at all the rappers that get shot and live to tell about it.

Shooting yourself would definitely be a suicide. Stepping, jumping, flying, in the way of a bullet to save someone's life would be a heroic action!

It wouldn't be suicide, because it wouldn't be you who shot the bullet, therefore, there would be no self-harm. Most bodyguards, for instance, who are to protect their clients and who cover them from bullets, would not do so to get killed, but to save their clients. They also do not know whether they would get killed, or just injured.
Thus, the intention would not to be killed, but to protect. A suicide usually involves the intention, or thought, of being harmed.

no... it's a sacrafice and a jump into over whelmeness and then i would figure out all the answers to life through death... or i'd just die, knowing that i had saved somebody from there own overwelmness hoping that they would not be sad but proud and happy for death isn't all that that it's made up to be...
suicide is a want to die to escape... saving somebody else is not escaping

Everyone has it's own right if you stop him or her doing something in his own territory you are invading his free will?
