Shotgun Blowback

[Sailfisher]

How do you avoid expanding gasses from the barrel of a shotgun pushing your head away and just damaging your face when aiming through the mouth?

Don´t worry about it you will be dead the moment you pull the trigger don´t over complicate things like most members do when it comes to firearm suicide.

Yeah I agree with @TheGoodGuy. When you pull the trigger, it will be over before your brain can even process/register what just happened. It happens in about a fraction of a second and assuming you aim correctly, with the right shotgun load (00 buckshot, slugs), then you will be gone (unconscious immediately then death very, very shortly after if you didn't somehow die immediately, which you should if you hit the brainstem.)
