For those not in the US, i suppose you know but guns have their own SI torture.
I am a novice.
I thought the purchase would be easy at least. That hasn't been the case. It's intimidating.
I'm going for handgun.
It seems more realistic than shotgun, to me. Shotgun has to be more effective but also so brutal.
Above the ear. Seems the most frequently recommended here.
For those who can't get a gun, does it seem as easy to you as well?
I just wonder what others think. Maybe a new perspective would get me over the hump on something here.

Oddly, if I think about being shot by someone a headshot seems scary. It has to be most humane but multiple shot to the heart and chest area, then die or bleed out seem better. I don't know just looking for any thoughts here.
Other perspectives.

Yes I heard from horrible si people have with the gun method some even mentioned being afraid that in absolute last second before they shoot the si would make their hand shake and therefore they wouldn't shoot where they wanted and fail the attempt which is a nightmare when someone fails suicide by gun.

I think intraorally is a better way, rather than to side of head. Regardless of the mess, I think shotgun is more reliable, too.

why is intraorally more effective than the side of the head? /gen

The idea is to hit the medulla oblongata, which keeps basic life functions going. Heartbeat etc.

Bc you're not going through as thick of skull and risking the projectile being diverted. And it's much easier to reach the amygdala through the roof of the mouth. Also, having the barrel of the gun in the mouth steadies it, so you'd be less susceptible to a flinch before firing.

Regardless of the method, overcoming SI is the biggest challenge. I have a very powerful, reliable firearm and haven't been able to get past squeezing the trigger. I wish you the best of luck and I hope that you can succeed where I failed.

I was thinking the same thing. The SI kicks in regardless. You think one method is better than the other only to find when you have that method at your whim you still cannot do the act. I noticed a lot of hanging threads wishing they had a gun and saying it would be over if they did. Although some may be right, the SI kicks in no matter when the moment arrives. It is kinda scary how powerful it is when you least want it to be.

purchasing wasn't hard for me, the store actually handed me a tablet to do my own background check (wild imo) but when it came to putting the gun in my mouth it was tough. 3 years later i don't have the gun but a 5150 on my record so i can't buy a gun for a while (if ever, idk what the exact law is)

I might have no choice but to get into 3d printing after my gun got seized. I've already done a lot of research.
