Josh Taylor from Pitt Town allegedly fired the gun outside an IGA Supermarket on Eldon Street, the Nine Network reports.
He was sitting in the driver's seat of a vehicle at the time with three friends, who allegedly told investigators he was playing Russian roulette.
The gun, according to Nine, was not registered.
Mr Taylor's Facebook page suggests he has an interest in guns, with an image posted of a gun and bullets last November. It is not known if this is the same gun used in the incident.
He has also liked Facebook pages such as 'Rifle Scopes for Sale' and 'Rebels Sydney'.
Mr Taylor was flown to Westmead Hospital where he remains in a critical condition.
Police would not confirm reports Mr Taylor was playing Russian roulette, but said they do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances.
Investigations are continuing.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers via 1800 333 000.
