How long can you survived a 12 gauge shotgun to the head WITHOUT help.

[toomuchgrief]

Has anyone here did any research and find how long can someone survived a 12 gauge tactical shotgun to the head without help? If blast in the head like in that Shuaiby guy video.

I have a car, money, and a 12 gauge shotgun and slug. Since it my car I can put the gun back in my trunk and drive my car to the middle of no where and finish myself in the head. Yes, I have a spot in the middle of no where that have ZERO cell phone signal. Yes. ZERO cell phone signal since it up in the mountain in the middle of no where.

So this is pool proof right? You can't survived if you brain blast to pieces. Or even if you did flinch you will died of shock from internal bleeding pressure in your skull anyways.

Has anyone did research and find medical studies show anyone who can survive for "how long" WITHOUT help?

I basically give zero fu-ck if any help show up, just please show up AFTER I'm dead please. I guess I'm looking for a time frame to make sure I be dead before anyone find me.

As far as a time frame, if you're shooting properly, you won't have a time frame to be saved. A 12-gauge to the head will certainly obliterate your brain matter with a single shot especially at such close range.

Since you'll be in the mountains far from help and hopefully from anyone who would hear the gunshot, I think you'll be fine. Try not to miss, or you'll be laying in the middle of nowhere bleeding out

As above.

Welp thank you Sir.
Shotgun sound are LOUD, this is what I'm scare off. Since where I be going have ZERO cell phone signal, and there no houses around.
Unless a car drive by around the area and hear it? But I plan to do it in the middle of the night. But that part I'm scare too since the shotgun sound will be super loud at night, lol.

Let say if I miss it, like you know if I flinch, and it not blow my head off instead it blow half my face off, lol. how long you think it take for me to bleed out?

Anyhoo it a big gun, it will be hard to miss. From the video of this Shuaiby guy he just point to his head and blash, his brain literally blow to pieces.

This is the shotgun, pic below, can you give me advice on what would I have to do wrong in order to miss my head? I mean as you can see, it not a small gun. What would I have to do wrong in order to survive from this gun to my head?

I'm not scare of death. I'm scare of survive the attempt you know. As I ONLY have one chance.

Well I guess the videos and scenarios automatically come to mind where people manage to survive a shotgun blast and are ..."saved" and even walking around with their face blown off and later had those recovery story's with face transplants and what not. Those people aimed the shotgun under the chin, not all of them tho. I would suggest aiming into the mouth. Also your set up sounds pretty failsafe. Those cases of Someone surviving are very rare and that's the irony with it that you mostly hear about those poor souls who survived and less often of those who succeeded. I would maybe not do it at nighttime for your already mentioned reason with the loudness. Anyway, if you really mess this up and you have no immediate help available, it depends on how severe your wounds are if you survived and how fast you are bleeding out it can take anywhere between 5 and 20 minutes. But if you also count in other physical trauma and shock it might be quicker.

 

[toomuchgrief]

Thank you @SueECidal

Yeah alot of gunshot stories survival scare me. But they use a riffle, not a 12 gauge shotgun. Neither way, a gun is still a gun. Last thing I want is survive.

Actually this shotgun is my second option. My 1st option is a 1,879 feet plunge. This I need to travel so I need to buy an airplane ticket, then use my driver license to rent a car there, drive there and plunge down. Money is not a problem, I have more than enough to travel.

It just I'm so tore. As you know I ONLY have one chance to do it you know.

The logical me told me the 2,000 feet plunge is more guarantee as gravity will do it work on me you know.

The gun I'm scare I will flinch or if the bullet get stuck? lol. It like the gun it up to my hand to get it right, where the plunge gravity will do it nature work.

Which one would you chose, which you think more guanrantee of death?

 

[SueECidal]

I know what you mean. I was originally replying here because I chose this as "my" method as well.
The chance of surviving a shotgun blast to the head are about 1% but I can imagine your thought here; if you are one of the "lucky" persons who are one of those 1%... That's why I did so much research and to be honest there is not all that much research to be done here and to consider unlike other methods where you actually have something like a timeframe where you can be "saved" and there is much more that can go wrong than "flinching" when using a gun.
I do believe that you will be good with your shotgun plan. Jumping from a height like this is also pretty much failsafe, I guess it just depends what you prefer, what you feel like is "your" method to go through with it. I personally am not very fond of the idea to jump to my death, but it is certainly a method that can have the same success rate like a gun/shotgun when considering the height.
The thoughts that someone might has when jumping and the impact takes longer... is what would scare me here. Ever fell from a bike or from a balcony or something? That timeframe which are only seconds, but you felt like it happend in slow motion... Imagine that happening from jumping down 2000feet. It must feel like forever... all the thoughts you have. A gun/Shotgun is instant and there is not really time to think about anything anymore. Just my thoughts on that tho.

I still go back to that video once a month to comfort myself. It's long but in a way it helps.

A lot of people hold the gun out in front of them or away from their head, and end up maiming themselves (meaning they held it away instead of directly touching their head, so when they shot it swayed and took out half their face). If you were to do so, you could sit there for hours bleeding out (obviously you'd probably pass out in under an hour unless you actually did get your brain in which case you would more likely lose conscious immediately).

Keep in mind as long as you hold it as he did, direct contact with your head, you should be fine. Some people say to take out the palette (i.e putting the gun in your mouth) but I would advise against it and just aim for the brain.

 

[TAW122]

I believe your plan is very solid and if you hit the brainstem (which I believe you have a good chance to do so, assuming you positioned the barrel at the correct angle and don't flinch when squeezing the trigger), you will die instantaneously. What others have said are also true too. In addition to this, if you really want to (in case you are uneasy or even antsy about it) you could remove the battery + SIM card from your phone to provide an extra insurance against phone signals and stuff. I hear that sometimes emergency calls can still go through, especially if it is a satellite phone (though I don't know all the details of it since I just have a regular cell phone).

 

[JSRF]

Even if you had an emergency surgeon team right next to you, your chances of survival would be close to zero. Since you're gonna do it in the middle of nowhere I wouldn't worry too much, Shotgun blasts are pretty mighty.

You won't survive a shotgun blast to the head. Plain and simple. It will be dirty as your head will explode like a watermelon dropped on concrete, but you will be dead 100% sure provided you don't miss.

Not necessarily.

This is a very interesting article from the National Library of Medicine about a study of survivors of gunshot wounds... including shotguns.


It's quite long but you can skim it. The part about halfway down "results" is a good read. But the article talks about how different guns and where you aim/trajectory play a part in if it will hit your brain and kill you, etc.

It also talks about statistics of suicide fatalities with guns vs other means. A lot of good info for anyone considering this method.

I seriously doubt about a possible survival of a shotgun blast to the head (upper head, so the brain and not the face) because a shotgun deliver so much energy that your head would literally explode like a watermelon. I think that people who survived shot themselves in the face or the jaw rather than the head, they ended up being badly disfigured but since the brain wasn't destroyed, they were still alive.

A bullet shot on the other hand can pierce your head and not necessarily kill you, that's why I would advise against a bullet to the head, especially FMJ rounds like 9mm. A slower hollow-point bullet in .45 ACP would pack more punch and be a safer choice, if you don't have access to a shotgun.

The best method, at least for me, is to ingest cyanide. But that's another point.

 

[Dude1983]

You will not hear the shot

Honestly Middle of nowhere wounds like a movie scene. Good luck with Finding whatever you are looking for, I hope you tried for recovery before reaching this point..

 

[Meditation guide]

It looks like as long as the skull is not damaged people can survive. I don't see any of these photos of survivers with skull damage.

It's very important to know where you are aiming and not the face area. Not under the chin as this also can cause you to live but with no face. There are a large number of people who took a blast to the chin or face area and have survived but look very bad.

Has anyone did research and find medical studies show anyone who can survive for "how long" WITHOUT help?

Google it.

All this makes me afraid.. and I figure this is the best method

 

[UKscotty]

Chance of survival is nil for all practical purposes. There is zero time to be saved. The brain will be destroyed.

It really depends on what gets hit. There's a chance you could blow half your face off without destroying any marjoy artery or vessel, leaving you just a bloody and multilated mess. If that's the case and you lose your vision, you'll probably end up starving to death because of not being able to escape.
