CTB with handgun bullet wound through the heart?

For awhile the story of Ota Benga has been on my mind. This Mbuti congonese man had his community ripped apart by colonization and his family killed in that process. He lived a tragic life after that, being brought to america, made to live in a zoo and such. Later in his life he would commit to the act of killing himself with a pistol, shooting himself through the heart after making a ceremonial fire.

I bought a shotgun a few years ago, but I deciding against that particular firearm because it seemed too traumatizing to anyone who would find me and my family. I'm turning 21 soon so I'm wondering if I should just go and grab a pistol, some alcohol and benzo and CTB somewhere heavily forested. I've always heard stories of firearm survivors who aimed for their head but what about the chest area? would I survive? be paralyzed?

Without being an expert. I think the head has a higher success rate.

Reading through that megathread about guns, the head statistically has the higher probability of certain death. The use of a shotgun over a pistol has the highest odds. The megathread is worth a read.
