I live in Russia and it is impossible to buy firearms here without a special license. The state is very repressive, afraid of its people, so without a special license, you can not buy firearms here. However, I found a loophole. In the country, you can buy a crossbow without a license. Its essence is the same as the essence of firearms. You can theoretically shoot yourself with it, but I need to know for sure if I can or not. In Russia, you can buy a fairly powerful crossbow without a license. Maximum up to a tension force of 43 kilograms. I've seen on the forums that this is a force equal to a powerful air rifle (which can only be purchased with a license, lol). I plan to buy a MK-80A1 crossbow. It has a tension force of 36 kilograms, its initial arrow speed is 48. Is it possible to shoot yourself with such a crossbow? If you put it in your mouth and shoot it up.

I tried to kill myself many times. In almost every possible way. In the end, I realized that I only had the strength of mind to shoot myself. But you can't buy firearms in Russia. However, I found a loophole. Please help me figure it out. I hope I described everything correctly. I have 2 mental disorders. I know I'm too cowardly to hang myself, but I know for a fact that I can shoot myself, and even if I don't end it after I buy a crossbow, I want to have a way to end it in the back closet at any time. Sorry for the errors,I use a translator

NO, DO NOT SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE MOUTH WITH A CROSSBOW! It's not a gun, and there are tons of people with arrows and bolts sticking out of their heads, still alive and really fucked.

Arrows and bolts are not designed to be used at point blank. They need some time to stabilize. Best I can think is pay someone to shoot you in the heart with the crossbow from about 5m away. Don't go for a head shot with an arrow or bolt. Hunters aim for the heart. That's where it would be most lethal.

Edit: See this video to understand how arrows/bolts travel through the air, and why point blank wouldn't work:

My guess as a hunter is the following: Strong chance you'll either survive but have an arrow sticking through your head and severe brain damage, or very slowly and painfully bleed out as you do the bacon on the floor.

Do not use a crossbow!! Do not use a crossbow!! Do not use a crossbow!! You will only be hurt and that will make things much worse! I realize this has already been said above but hear it again. DO NOT USE A CROSSBOW!! ❤

It could be worse, it could be like that death by cheeseburgers thread. At least this one is plausible.

I do remember someone on here circumventing the issue of getting a license for a gun by buying antique guns which apparently don't require a license to own but that'll probably depend on location as well.

A crossbow or bow, in general, is a long-range weapon, as such, it does not make a good CTB weapon. I suggest that you research and consider an alternative method.

1) it has no explosive power only penetrative power
2) velocity of the arrow when discharged is important, the muzzle velocity will likely be nowhere near that of a gun
3)air rifles and crossbows can kill when penetrating the eyes or yes, perhaps the area below the base of the skull however many cases have found, penetrations are not fatal, i.e. nail guns, harpoons, crossbows, steel poles and many other similarly shaped items
4) to succeed, you will need to know placement. Not physics as such, but neurobiology. Perhaps, the crossbow is powerful enough, point blanc to penetrate skin, (you could test on meat, beef, pork etc... Or go to a butcher for a pigs head) but placement is important. You will need to shoot yourself through vital areas of the brain. There are many sections. The sections you will need to hit are those that control breathing, the lungs, and the heart reflexes, and to pass out, you will need to sever several important nerves that control this function.

The reason people use guns, is that guns explode many of these important parts of the brain.

Decapitation is a home made method that is instant.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is also fairly instant and painless in concentrations above 10,000ppm or higher.

As I said, using a cross ow or air gun, could cause bleeding, and penetrative damage. The effects are very hard to predict, unless shot by a dozen crossbows for lethal effect.

It's not impossible.

But you'd need to be a marksmen and a brain surgeon to learn the shot you'd take.

An alternative, and this is a one way ticket to catch the bus... Wait until lockdown is over... Buy a plane ticket abroad, USA, Thailand, somewhere where high caliber guns are common, and book a range to shoot a gun, and take the shot, through the mouth out the back of your head aiming between your high neck and base of skull.

It's not nice. But this is a 100% method. It will only take time and maybe some money to travel.

I really don't want to think you'd suffer if the crossbow didn't work, and you might be unable to do something the rest of your life. I mean. I don't know. Blind. Or something. I don't know.

Take care friend.

Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to buy a ticket and go to another country. My parents control me, I can't do this. In Russia, absolutely everything was banned. Without a license, you can't buy anything that could break your head (a crossbow was my last hope). I've tried every method of suicide. I don't dare do anything but shoot myself. In fact, I'd like to have a gun in my closet, so I can end this when I'm too tired to fight. I'm trapped...

I heard it. I will not use this method. The crossbow was my last hope. There's no more left. I've tried every method of suicide. I'm a coward and I can't do it, but I could do it if I had a gun. I will suffer forever...

He's gone. In Russia, you can not buy firearms (without a license). I tried ALL the ways. I've tried it for 5 years. I'm a coward and I can't. I can only shoot myself. But this is not available. And I'll have to suffer forever...
I just wanted to have hope. I wanted to know that I could finish it all. I didn't specifically review this post. This hope gave me strength, but it failed...

Bad idea...
Those pistol crossbows do not have enough power relative to length of the travel distance of the string to impart much power or penetration potential of the bolt.
Add to that that to kill much of anything with target points on the bolt/arrow is difficult at best. It'll just be a very very painful and unpleasant day ending in A&E and a possible psychiatric hospital stint.

From my simple knowledge of mechanics and physics it can definitely kill you though not guaranteed, you need a marksman, people kill bear with cross bow all the time, it will be painful and take time. If you can find someone to target the brain or the heart, you are toast my friend. I also salute your originality my friend. I am thinking of a unique way to go too.
I am not encouraging you but if you can study your biology for a few months, there are some veins and artery in the neck and thighs. You need some forest or a place alone and a sharp knife. Not my method you might not even need a crossbow but a crossbow is a good way to go. You can also put some poison on the crossbow for more effectiveness.
There are Amazonian tribes that still fight eachother by crossbow alone and do you remember that Christian missionary who was trying to convert people, he was taking out by a crossbow.
Not my method but I respect you a lot sir/ma. To mother Russia. I hope you are over 18 anyway.
If everything is not aligning, it might not be your time. When it is your time it is your time.
If you decide to change your mind, we will always be here for you.
