Method Guns/firearms megathread

If you were a woman in her 50s who is weak what kind of gun would you use? I have practiced with a .22 semiautomatic and a .38 revolver. I'm told don't even bother with the .22. But the .38's recoil is so powerful I think I'd just end up taking my nose off or becoming a vegetable. I need something as sure as possible.

LFA Apollo 11 pistol? This has gotta be good enough?

I'd suggest you start practicing with a gun, find a range to shoot and build up your strength, should only take a handful of months.

its very weird that all of the links to buy things are from the same literally-who tier gun site. maybe im cynical years of seeing shills on /k/ (fucking Special Weapons for like a goddamn decade before it went under, thank god), maybe its completely innocent, but it just strikes me as weird.

in any case, a .44 magnum (or a .357, or almost any handgun that isnt, like, a fucking heap of rust or some homemade bullshit) WILL act as a fantastic way to CTB. you have to angle the barrel at either just behind your temple, at your brain stem, anything like a .22lr i wouldn't bother (hah, thank god this isnt a gun forum, some angry boomer would be really mad at me for putting down the almighty .22). a medical diagram of the brain actually helps a lot with this.

rifle calibers also work well. ive seen so much footage of people accidentally offing themselves with 5.56 ar platform guns, ak varisnts, and even one spectacular one where a dude shot himself in the head with a black powder muzzleloader. shotguns are the *best*, but not the only.

the BIGGEST issue one may run into is ammunition. do not buy literally-who tier brands as you will risk FTFs (failure to fire) or hell, even the round just blowing the fuck apart upon leaving the barrel. i had that happen with some cheap bullshit .22 ammo once when trying to kill a venomous snake. no thanks. you want a good, clean ejection, not fragmentation that may not kill you. spend money on more expensive, more reliable ammunition. avoid, in particular, ANY ammo made by Monarch. also be dubious of anything marketing itself as "military grade". zack hazard has several videos describing how even a basic bitch walmart ar is in better condition than most of the militaries guns and how military grade is just a cashgrab term. he was in the GWOT, he was a small arms repairman, i trust his word over most other guntubers.

in any case, have a good night.

edit: attached is a diagram that will help in locating the brainstem.

I'm curious what a "literally-who" means, because I'm not understanding the context.

I'm looking at a Taurus 605. it says it can fire .357 rounds, so I think it's okay? do I need an actual factual "magnum" gun?

 

[losingsteam3141]

Bought a .45 acp 1911, kinda regretting not buying a .357. Will I still be ok?

 

[Musiclover338]

357 magnum or shotgun buckshot? which works best?

can someone please help revive this thread.

I own a Bond Arms Grizzly 45 Colt LC .410 Gauge Centerfire Pistol

• 45 colt LC, .410 gauge with a 2-round capacity
• Break action
• 3-inch double barrel with a stainless-steel finish
• Crossbolt safety
• 20-ounce weight
• Caliber Group: 410/45 Colt
• Ammo Type: Centerfire
• Series: Derringer
• Handedness: Right Handed
• Firearm Action: Single Action
• Grip: Wood
• Firearm Capacity: 2
• Product Type: Pistols
• Model: Derringer

And this is my ammo:

Winchester Super-X .410 Gauge Shotshells
• 410 bore
• 2 1/2 inch
• 1830 FPS
• 1/5 oz
• Rifled slug—hollow points


Will this do it? Through mouth, headshot, pointed up. Or am I looking at surviving with massive injuries?

Also, I feel like this is the right place to put this info here: there's a legal loophole to gun ownership—even if your record has psychiatric history.

I hate that the firearm method is the most effective and also the most bloody.

Pentobarbital should be easily accessible for everyone. Why would the government even want us to resort to gruesome methods to CTB?

and the riskiest unfortunately

What would be easier and more effective for a resident of France : buying a black powder replica (is there a guide on how all of that works, that seems so complicated to use) or a gun on the black market (and do you have a guide on how to do that) ? Idk if there would be a price difference either.

I'm sorry if that's been answered before, I tried looking for it and didn't find it, also I'm beyond exhausted and need help so thanks in advance.

 

[RottenApple17]

Why do some attempts with a handgun fail? Is it just a matter of bad luck, or is it due to poor technique (like aiming at the wrong angle)?

 

[StarsAbove]

It sounds like a .38 and .40 are good bets for me maybe? A shot gun or rifle is likely not plausible as I am 5'0. I want more shooting experience so I can get comfortable with it and I fele lile those would be good guns to go to a range with correct? I really know nothing about guns at all
