Help Gunshot through heart?

[they forgot me]

Would it be feasible to ctb by shooting myself in the heart since its so hard to hit the brainstem?

my aunt tried this in her 20s. your SI kicks in and you get nervous/tremble, so the likelihood of missing your heart is high. 80% of CTB attempts with a firearm are successful and that data is related to gunshot wounds to the head.

From memory something that I read many years ago said that the success rate is a few % lower than shooting the temple. Obviously there are a lot of variables to consider. I imagine that it's probably better in some niche situation.

IRL I know of one person (knew his wife) who survived a self-inflicted shotgun shot to the torso but I am unsure where exactly the shot landed.

The likelihood of death is near 100% if someone blows their brainstem out with a shotgun loaded with buckshot through their mouth. If firearm were my method, I wouldn't chance shooting myself in the heart. I'd go for the gunshot method with the greatest chance of success.

but wouldn't i die either way with a shot to the heart since i would bleed out anyway? if i miss the brain stem i could survive.
