Help .357 magnum shot from a Smith & Wesson 686. What’s the best way to do it?

[itsover090709]

What is the best way to shoot oneself with a .357 magnum? I think in order to eliminate the possibility of flinching, I should not do it under the chin nor to the side of the head.
So the best way is probably inside your mouth pointed upward. But I don't know what should be the best trajectory path of the bullet when shot inside the mouth like that? Anyone have any infographic that shows this? I've attached photos of the bullet in case you need it.

Bump. This is a pretty important question. Do I just put a gun inside my mouth and point upward?

As far as I know as long as you've pointed the gun at your brain it doesn't really matter. Just don't make the horrible rookie mistake and blow your face off and miss your brain. Recoil only happens after the bullet is fired so the trajectory won't change from where you've aimed.

So putting the gun inside my mouth and pointed upward would work best?

Yeah. Other members may tell you to aim for the brain stem but frankly as long as you hit somewhere in the brain it's lights out immediately.

That's how my dad took his life. He had the foresight also to make sure he was sitting with a solid brick wall behind him so that the bullet went into that and didn't bother the poor family living right nextdoor.

For the brain stem, about this angle (notice the head is "level"):

Are you sure that's a bullet for a .357 Magnum? I remember them being much bigger.
