Method Can a death by self inflicted gunshot wound would be better or worse than hanging when it comes to pain?

[Misery99]

For a person who had never operated a gun, how easy or difficult it could be? Would it be too painful? I've heard horror stories of how some people had survived when they tried to commit suicide by using guns and how it had left their faces completely disfigured and the aftermath looks too gruesome. Hanging isn't bloody or too gruesome looking but how to get it done correctly? Can hanging be done from a ceiling fan? Would it be strong enough to hold a person's weight without the fan not being broken? If the person doesn't weight much and the ceiling fan is very close to the bed?

If you buy the right kind of gun and aim it correctly, I don't believe it's that difficult at all and would be instantaneous. But if you're nervous about being able to aim correctly, it's worth considering the real risk of severely hurting yourself and the pain that would come with that. The horror stories you've heard are definitely true, and what happens when someone does it the wrong way or with the wrong firearm.

If you have the means, you might want to practice using it at a gun range or class first to get a better understanding of the mechanisms. Regardless of what you decide in the future, I don't think it hurts to learn a new skill, familiarize yourself with different guns, and how to shoot. It could even be a new hobby. No need to rush something so (potentially) high risk.
