Method Is a gun a good way to go?

[mochamochi]

I'm lucky enough to live in an area with incredibly lax gun laws, so I can purchase one. Is shooting myself in the head the best way? How would I angle it for the best chances to go instantly?

1. You should kill brain steam. You can find it in Google
2. Shooting from below to the chin - crazy. Is the way for face lost.
3. Its better to do this from the side
And you really lucky, i can buy only the rope.

A fast and reliable way to ctb, if you aim right. Aim for the brain stem and it's better to use a gauge-shotgun than a handgun I I'm pretty sure there's a percentage somewhere around that thread that shows it's better to use a shotgun. Can't imagine the horror of someone who finds you though.




Check the thread below there's more information about it.

Hello all, I'm thrw_a_way1221221, or you can call me TAW122 if that's easier for you. In this thread, here is all the information in regards to ctb'ing via a gun/firearm. Everyone who is suggesting or choosing to ctb via 'N' and 'A' and 'H', that's cool. However, this thread is about GUNS (Not...

I do think if I had easy access to a firearm I would already have ctb.
The shotgun does seem the best option.

Same, I would definitely go with this if the laws in my country weren't so strict.

Don't use a handgun, if you can avoid it. A shotgun is much better, and probably the best choice. If you use a rifle, it might be a good idea to use hollow point ammo.

A gunshot is a very lethal option, but here's what a corpse in a coffin will look like and whether it can be opened, but if it doesn't matter, then this is a working method if the vector is correctly determined.

a shotgun or a powerful revolver like a .44/.357 to the roof of the mouth has like no chance of failure

 

[mochamochi]

I know next to nothing about guns, I figured I'd use a handgun since it's easier to conceal and hide from my family. What other small guns are effective?

 

[ham and potatoes]

I'm sure if done right a gun would be a quick way to go. If I was going to do it, I'd have to do it outside though, cause I wouldn't want someone to stumble onto that sight/ have to clean the mess up.

For me, it's the second best method. Second only to Nembutal.

But as Nembutal is impossible to find, then...

 

[Oliver]

If you know what you're doing, then guns are definitely one of the most reliable methods.

I Agree. Takes courage though to defeat si

I think guns would be the absolute holy grail for most. Quick and peaceful. Issue is outside the USA not many can legally access them.

You don't want to go smaller than .40 or so. Generally, the bigger the better—hence, shotgun. The most foolproof method with any firearm is to insert the barrel into your mouth, right up against the soft palette between the roof of your mouth and the downslope of your throat. Study diagrams extensively. There won't be any showing a gun pointed where it needs to be, but visualizations of brain stem location relative to the oral cavity should be pretty self explanatory.

Whatever you do, do not shoot under the chin with a handgun. Projectiles are known to deflect significantly—enough so that people have had a bullet enter their head and slide all the way around the inner roof of their cranium and toward the back of the neck, dealing significant damage without actually killing them. Worst possible outcome. Again, this doesn't really matter with a 12ga shotgun… You won't have much of a head left.

The upside to handguns is higher likelihood of being presentable at the funeral, if you care about that sort of thing. Lying face up with your mouth closed in the casket, head supported by cushions, the exit wound should be concealed and you'd look relatively normal. Just don't let anyone you love discover your body after the deed, the exit wound is still alarming to view… If you're not used to it.

If you feel fear, that's normal. I'm planning on inert gas asphyxiation, but when I had planned on using a handgun, I frequented a website with gun suicide footage. It became pretty clear that a proper shot is an instant death, any apparent "struggle" is the last response of the nervous and muscle systems as your brain function is eliminated. It's as instant as a death can be. A lot of the fear of the unknown went away. Even people who didn't know quite where to aim seemed to die instantly.

If I had access to a gun I wouldn't do it

 

[scottyy]

I remember reading somewhere a supposed ex-cop was saying that he saw alot of attempted suicides where the individual survived with horrific consequences.
He advised people to shoot the back of the head.
I think I'd be gone by now too if I had a gun. I found a very short barrel shotgun for cheap available at cabellas. But I don't have my gun license.

It's been a while since I looked, but I remember hearing in the UK shotguns are still possible to obtain for farmers or hobby shooters, but there's tons of background checks and other prerequisites — including social media checks.

I'm already in the mental health system, so there's no way I'd ever get approved.

This is my biggest struggle. I'm a huge coward but I truly want to

one of the best methods after N,, you're so lucky to be able to get one

What if I put a 30.06 rifle , or 12 gauge shotgun, or AR-15, like u described insert the barrel into your mouth, right up against the soft palette between the roof of your mouth and the downslope of your throat.

I guess aimed at 30 to 45 degrees angle up.

What chances of death with each would u say?

Worked fine when my dad did it

Actually there is a10% chance of failure in firearm deaths. & It's scary because it's unpredictable who that will be.

When people say under the chin, do they mean pointed under the external chin?

I am not doing this btw, I am just really confused why anyone would aim so far away from the brain.

Maybe under the chin means something different from what I'm visualizing.

Also, have you never seen any diagram for the gun angle or image that is SFW?

At least the directions for SN were exact. I don't want to have to guess about something as important as the angle :(

I don't think I can watch video. I already have intrusive OCD images of some photos (mostly milder than what I expected, but I still knew I would regret seeing one.

I know this is a lot of work, but would you ever post drawn sketches of what angle/position the people with handguns used?

Because I definitely read that death isn't instant unless you directly hit some very small & specific spots. A lot of people die in the hospital within 24 hours afterward, but don't instantly die.

I remember reading somewhere a supposed ex-cop was saying that he saw alot of attempted suicides where the individual survived with horrific consequences.
He advised people to shoot the back of the head.
I think I'd be gone by now too if I had a gun. I found a very short barrel shotgun for cheap available at cabellas. But I don't have my gun license.

How are people even supposed to reach the back of the head? You can't even see that angle in the mirror. And every person that witnessed firearm CTB attempt survivors whose suggestion I read about advised a different gun position.

Two people said to do intraoral & point straight back. (One said do not point app. All attempters who did it that way survived and were at her hospital.) But if it doesn't "complete" it will paralyze.

The non-nurse above also said to angle the gun intraoral. But if that doesn't succeed (which is possible, especially with handgun because the bullet ricochets and it's unpredictable how it will.), you could survive but br brain dead.

Someone else said to shoot above ear. But people have also survived that & become blind.

I wish I had Nembutal. Probably the only peaceful method :(

And I read an article about a guy with the same diagnosis as me and his parents even helped him get it :(
