You could be looking in the mirror and shooting someone else or whoever is on the other side of the wall when the bullet goes through the mirror - or whoever it hits when it ricochets.. or more basic ~ not a who but a what - your own reflection... if you have good aim that is..
:o)
use a water gun will you?

If your looking at the basic "who or what are you shooting at" your shooting at (assuming your alive) yourself. But if you take physics into the equation your shooting yourself [in the mirror, i would never condone shooting yoursefl], depending on how far you stand from the mirror and how the mirror is made up. If you take the speed of the bullet, and add gravity to the equation then you would get the direct result of a continuation of the bullet transfered as mirror fragments, then apply the gravity factor again to the mirror fragments, you would be shooting yourself. Depending again on what angle your shooting and how far the mirror is away, and if for some reason there may be a mirror in the middle of street or square, then factor in the people and where they might stand. Taking in to consideration that the angle you shoot will be the exact opposite of where the fragments may go. Another important factor is size, if you were to shoot a needle (strong enough to withold the blast of the gun and impact) you would get a less of effect of the resulting fragments or cracks. Where if you shot a bullet with a wide blunt end you would be more likely to get fragments. As well as the size of the gun, bullet, there is the mirror. If you were to shoot the standard bathroom mirror you would most likely get more fragments then if you were to shoot a giant mirror. And (one more factor) the make up of the mirror is the mirror backed by a thick backing or a just a thin layer of the material used in mirrors.

Depends where the muzzle is pointing (at the mirror, or at the object causing the reflection - your face, or something else altogether)).
If the muzzle is pointing towards the mirror, then you are shooting nobody physical. Just an image of you. And it will reappear the next time you look into a reflective surface.
If the muzzle is pointing towards your face, and you are using the mirror to de-personalise suicide, then you'd be shooting yourself, and depending on your skills and the caliber of the gun, you could die of the wounds. Chances are you wouldn't be able to see the effect in the mirror.
If the muzzle is pointing at something else, then you might be shooting that 'something else'.

Well if you aim at the mirror, you shoot the poor mirror. If the barrel is pointing at the real you and not the mirrored represntation of you, then you're dead.

The mirror, obviously, unless it rebounds off the mirror and into your head.
Or, you might just be looking into the mirror, whilst pointing the gun somewhere else.
Clever, huh?

Your reflection in the mirror which will just break it and the slug will go into the wall behind it.

No one. You shot the mirror, provided that the next room is empty.
