That´s how I see it too when using a firearm to ctb it´s just like turning off a light switch just click and you are gone.
That's why I like this method so much ! No nasty physical side effects either or bad taste in your mouth. Just place your shot correctly with a steady hand and...instant access to the bus ! It's the business class of ctb, no queing up....
Correction; gunshot to the head is painfree at least, according to my research you will go unconcious before you even hear the 'bang' from the gun it´s pretty wild to think about it´s basically a suicide button like turning off a light 'click' and done.
Yeah I am a fan of death being instant or at least go unconcious instantly because most my methods won´t kill me instantly but will make me unconcious immediately and with the gun it might kill me instantly if I hit a crucial part of the brain although doubtful since I am going with shooting myself in the temple but I will be dead in a couple of minutes a most and unconcious immediately after pulling the trigger.
And I agree it´s interesting to see other people´s methods since people mostly talk about just there main one, it´s also interesting to see how many have similar methods especially gun since not everyone has that option available to them, also seeing people´s choice of methods you can tell that some would rather not mutilate their body and have their bodies more peaceful looking, whereas others like me don´t care too much as long as it´s quick and painless.
Also handgun suicide using a 9mm isn´t gruesome at all to see I have dozens of pictures and videos of people who shoot themselves in the temple and it just leaves a little hole the only thing that could be considered gruesome is the amount of blood but that doesn´t bother me and sometimes there arent that much blood I even have some beautiful pics of a guy who shot himself in the temple the pictures look very nostalgic with the weather and he looks so peacefull.
I agree about instant death being best, but that's why I am wondering why you are going for a shot to the temple? Unless it's with a shotgun loaded with buckshot you might miss some vital parts of the brain and survive as a veg....I accidentally shot myself near the temple once I'm very much alive (the bullet missed the brain and just sliced a piece of my forehead off). Sorry I do not want to criticize, to each their method, but I just want to warn you, as a fellow gun suicide I would like you to have a good experience when you decide to go for it....please forgive me if I have been too forward.
From least favorite, and more realistic, to the exotic and then most preferred. Sorry, I am not normal.
5. Inert gas
4. Spaghettification while falling into a black hole.
3. Atomization from Doctor Manhattan
2. Suffocation during a 69.
1. Heart attack, or pure exhaustion, during a month long fuckathon. Akin to antechinus.
I might move "suffocation during a 69" to the top of my list !
What is "solide"
I know people hate the temple headshot and we are supposed to put the gun in our mouth, aim at 45 degree angle to hit the precious brainstem but it just over complicates things that is why I left the firearm megathread because you guys make it out to be rocket science and it stresses me out, plus for starters I have a Glock and have tried putting it in my mouth and try and aim which is tricky and feels uncomfortable scratching against my teeth I also can have a solid grip on the gun because of that and all in all I just don´t feel comfortable doing that whereas putting the gun to my temple feels easy and I know that will kill me I literally have dozens of pictures and videos of people ctb by shooting themselves in the temple.
Methods are often also what you feel most comfortable doing like jumping from a skyscraper will result in certain death so will train decapitation but some people are not comfortable with that so they use other methods, also I bet you wouldn´t bet money on me surviving shooting myself in the temple point blank with hollow point bullets.
I agree about the shot through the mouth, it feels uncomfortable to me too. But what about hitting the brainstem from the side? if you point the gun just behind your ear? Move it 5 cms backwards from the temple, same level, and you're safe. But again, it's only up to you and the last thing I want is to make you leave the discussion like you left the firearms thread....
