Could I please have some help? Would this gun do the job?

To preface, I know practically nothing about guns. This is from my deceased grandfather. It seems to be fully loaded already?

I know the ideal area to shoot is the roof of the mouth, right? Does anyone know where exactly on the roof? Does it matter?

I appreciate any advice or info. I don't want to use it unless I know for sure it'll work.

It's not super powerful but should be enough. As for aiming I'd say search the threads here. Certainly a debate

Lovely .38 special. I'm insanely jealous, they remind me of those 50's detectives. That calibre and style of pistol was standard issue in most police forces in the US until about the 90's to late 80s when they switched to semi automatic for a larger magazine size and quicker firing rate as criminals carried more and more dangerous things and they needed to compete.

So yes, it would do the job. If it was good enough in the US Police arsenal for about 50 years give or take, it's good enough for this.

You could realistically do this with a .22., .38 special with a snubbed nose will have a little less velocity than full size but the energy at point blank wouldn't matter.

Looks sick, guns should do the job aslong as the bullet penetrates your brain! Id just put it to my forehead or side of the head, but im not too sure myself. Good luck!!
