Well I have never done it personally, but I have been shot at 2 minutes after a fresh spawn. I can say it sucks, but luckily the guy was a terrible shot. Plain and simple, people do it for the laughs.
A real question is why are there millions of hatchets and windshield glass all over this virtual world? At times I feel like Russia's main manufactured goods are hatchets and windshield glass. My suggestion to you is to take a deep breath and get over it. I personally enjoy the large amount of guns in the game. I have made it a goal to find and collect all the guns in the game with ammo.
You can kill yourself very easily. Just log in and go do something else for a half hour to an hour, maybe longer. I'm sure you will lose all your bloods from dehydration and starvation.
