[xXSufferingXx]

you've probably seen videos of them, if not, search:
kill cow gun farmer.

i wonder if they would hypothetically work on a human and if they're easy to purchase

Yes, here's the link to actual suicide with bolt guns from PubMed.It doesn't seem simple though.

Suicide with two makes of captive-bolt guns (livestock stunners) fired simultaneously to the forehead - PubMed

In humans, most fatalities from slaughterer's guns are suicides committed by persons familiar with stunning devices. The great majority of cases accounts for shots to the head, especially the frontal region. Only a small number of two subsequent cranial shots from captive-bolt humane killers...

the only reason i know about these is because of texas chainsaw massacre lol

Turns out you can just buy one, though they do cost a few hundred dollars. You also need to buy cartridges for it, preferably the heavy weight ones designated for cows and oxen. And then you need to aim it properly...

Isn't it probably cheaper to get a regular gun? I mean, most of the same risks of failure or getting caught seem like they'd be there... and I can't imagine this would be any cheaper or easier to get than a regular handgun or rifle that would do the trick.

That's only possible in the US though. Other parts of the world don't have access to guns

Hadn't thought fully about that... but even so... is it actually easier to get one of these cow-killing contraptions and inexpensive? That's still a surprise to me even outside the US.

Unfortunately yes it's much easier getting a c bolt gun or even old powder guns that were used 200 years ago lol :(

I wish we could get guns as easily in Europe. Most of the time you have to go through long trainings and then register yourself, fill all kind of papers. Most suicidal people would give up going through all of that
