I'd find out why he wanted me to do it and get it in writing that there's nothing there and have him hold the gun so that he can get blamed instead of me and pull the trigger, the amount of good I could do with $1000000 outweighs the bad and knowing me I'd probably hate whoever it was if I got to know them

I think the more important question here is: How in the name of God did you end up in such a room?

And if the room was yours, you'd have to wonder how the man managed to come in, set up and rig a gun without you noticing.

Basically this question is "Would you kill for money?"

I personally don't think this is as illustrative of a personality as people tend to think, as teenagers/immature adults tend to say "Hellz yeah bro I am superhardcore life means nothing to me" regardless of other factors.
no it is not a ''would you kill for money'' question.in the scenario you dont know if there is anybody or anything on the other side of the door.
Ah well, why would anyone offer you a million dollars and go through the trouble of setting up this gun, just to have you shoot at nothing?

As an incredibly materialistic person who views the majority of the human race as livestock the answer is Yes. No I wouldn?t relish killing another person, unless it was someone who I had a particular grudge against but all the same human life isn?t worth a million to me.

1,000,000 can buy an awful lot of vodka.

That's an awful lot of forgetting I can do if I end up killing someone.

I would refuse and leave.

Unless I was told I'd be killed if I didn't pull the trigger, I have the same right as the person who might be through that door to live. I would of course feel rather guilty if I killed a innocent but it was either myself or them and I like me.
Although its a nice sum of money I dont really need it so that wont be much of a factor in my choice.

Yes, if he says nothing is on the other side in writing, so if I do kill something, I pocket the million and sue his ass
Exactly this. That's the smart way to approach it. Otherwise, you just end up killing some poor sod for money.

Wait, that's a bad thing?

No I wouldn't pull the trigger, it could be anything that lays on the other side of that door. Anything.

Ask him what's on the other side of the door. If he refuses to tell me, I leave.

If I can't leave, I kill him, just out of spite, open the door and find out.
Yeah, but then you find out he was your father, and the other side of the door hid a great big family reunion. With pie.

This is probably my favorite answer so far. Pie ftw :p

Um.. no if I could aim the gun myself I could then aim high enough to ensure I hit nothing but the ceiling or a giant but since it's it's fixed and since the offer is so high logically there's something I'd most likely rather not shoot on the other side.

Reminds me of the superb short film "The Black Button".

I'd ask if I could keep the key as it's a very pretty key as a memento of such a bizarre occasion. Although he does miss some of the obvious questions such as "Have you done this before?" "If so how many times?" and "How do I leave if I push the button, do I still get the key anyways?"
Edit: Actually I'd probably just presume him to be a psychotic billionaire and try to bludgeon him to death with the briefcase so as to end his depraved mind game.
Edit2: Wait what caliber gun are we talking here? Is it only just big enough to breach the door and kill something? If so I'd put my leg in front of it. Yes I'd shoot myself in the leg for one million dollars if nothing else it should slow the bullet down enough to not kill whomever may be on the other side.
Edit3:This is way off topic, I know but try to imagine how epic "Black Button" would have been if they had got Malcolm McDowell to play the guy in the chair.

In this scenario, yes. There is absolutely no evidence that I would be killing another person. In The Black Button scenario, as posted by curlycrouton, then no, I wouldn't. Money is not a good enough reason to consciously take someone's life.

if (hypothetically) there was a person in the room, wouldnt they die anyway because if there was a way to get out the room, they wouldve used it already and if you dont shoot they will just die of starvation or whatever you die from being stuck in a room

as a test to see if you would do it? have you seen the ''wrong eye'' scene from saw?

You have to assume something of value is on the other side of the door, otherwise he wouldn't be offering you $1,000,000 to pull the trigger. I'd be tempted at first but I'm not a risk taker so I'd decline.

Yell to the other side, telling anyone to duck and cover. Shoot the gun and pocket the million. If someone is hurt/dead then they were retarded and I feel no grief for them.

This is of course assuming they can communicate with me, otherwise no.

What if it was set up to shoot a bomb. If it hurts me in any way then no. If it doesn't then hell yeah. Please wipe your tears on these dollar bills.*
