Help cheap and effective firearms?

[autumn68]

i'm at the point where i'm done trying to find a method, just going to shoot myself and be done with it. i've heard shotguns are effective but that kind of freaks me out, i'd really prefer a handgun if possible. is there anything else that needs to be taken into account like ammunition? i've tried looking around at other threads but i haven't had much luck with the search function
and i guess a follow up question, would i even be able to buy one if i was in the psych ward (voluntarily) last year?

Why does a shotgun freak you out? If you shoot the right place its guaranteed to be instant.

With a pistol you can end up being alive for a while (even if you are unconscious for most of it) It's far more likely to fail with a pistol or to end up taking a bit of time to die with a pistol

i guess i just want there to be something left for a funeral, idk. i might just go with a shotgun anyways, you make a good point

Yeah, thats understandable.
But just be careful. Because i assume if you mean you want something for a funeral, you would shoot your temple with a pistol, which can often times fail, or end up with you being alive for a hour or two (probably unconscious).

Shotgun suicide looks scarier but its way more likely to be successful and instant for the one doing it.
