Happy voting!

N, as I deserve a peaceful death. I want a death which is like falling into a deep sleep. I want to be free from all suffering, I want non existence more than anything. I will never not be tired of living.

 

[Chinaski]

Firearm. You pull the trigger and it's over. The main drawback with N for me is that the few minutes you must wait to pass are going to feel like a very long time.

Just a cup of n and some chocolate mmhmmzzZzz

 

[NumbItAll]

I would prefer shotgun because it is instant, but I don't want to leave that kind of mess behind, so Nembutal for now out of courtesy.

N 100% I have a shotgun. But I've also had a family member who used firearm as their method so maybe thats why.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

N, for sure. I would probably blow my face off with a shotgun.

 

[markimobzzdeasui]

Always Shotgun. It has always been my dream method since years or my personal holy grail of suicide. Because while pulling the trigger, I would be in control and this might be the only time in my life that would give me a certain sense of power over my reality! With N I guess my fear is loosing consciousness and maybe never knowing if you are dead or not.

 

[fatefulstillness]

N, in a heartbeat. I've never held a firearm in my life.

But with a shotgun, you also don't know if you're dead or not either.

N in a heartbeat. I'm terrified of flinching when pulling the trigger and blowing my face off instead my brains.

And this is a very real concern. I go to the range regularly. And a typical range trip involves ~500 rounds. And despite this - I still flinch / jerk ther trigger and see flyers every now and then.

And if you flinch with a shotgun, you can be sure someone will hear and try to save you.

Yes, good post

I'd choose N unless I had a way to disappear into the deepest forest and not be found (think the large swathes of forest in Canada). Done right shotgun is instantaneous but I don't want anyone having to find me or clean up my body after that.

Shotgun. It is instant if done correctly. And i migh throw up the N and fail.

 

[Crazy4u]

I chose N for one reason only. I don't have ability to shoot and target properly. I went to the range yesterday and shot 50 rounds using handguns. My hands shake a lot. I don't have strong arms/body

 

[olkf]

N If the both choices were given on a plate. Sourcing those is a pain

Thats the million dollar question - if done correctly!

If not done correctly - the results are horrendous. I shoot rifles and handguns regularly. Even in the stress free environment of a range - i flinch / slap the trigger every now and then resulting in flyers.

When you are stressed, with adrenaline pumping - will you be able to point the shotgun with steady hands and calmly squeeze the trigger? Instead of jerking at it?

Note: I am not trying to question your abilities or put you down in any way. I am just trying to point out the downside of failure with a shotgun.

 

[Callie Arcale]

I wanted to choose shotgun but clicked on N by accident. My brainfog is really bad tonight.

My ideal method would be to put a gun to my head, pull the trigger and be gone. So quick and painless. I dread the idea of taking a pill and waiting for it to work.

 

[Interloper]

Shotgun. If I don't commit after I've poured my N it's kind of wasted, and if I do there is still a chance I throw up because I can't drink very fast. Also not looking forward to having to fast.

 

[DontGiveAshiit]

well if its powder N then it is not even a question - cant be easier than that. liquid N (which I have) is a bit harder to drink so Im a little concern by that. but I think still better than shotgun.

 

[roguetrader]

If success was guaranteed by either method, then no difference. But failure with shotgun is a pathetic situation.

 

[Sunset Limited]

N ofc. I use it IV.

 

[whatevs]

The shotgun is risky for me and anyone that gets really nervous and isn't a confident person. Without a steady hand, something horrible might happen...

Ofcourse. You are 100% correct. But after all the successrate with a shotgun is 98% which is very high. (85% with a handgun i think). And if i shoot myself with a shotgun and not die Instantly, if Somehow nobody finds me ill probably bleed out pretty quickly. Idk i just feel like atleast for me i would have a higher successrate with a shotgun than N. I know that N is very effective and i like the method but i would Still choose a shotgun over N any day. I know that if i fail with a shotgun its not gonna be a good time but thats a risk im willing to take.

I'm a man, so I'd choose a shotgun, because that's manly.

I'd choose a shotgun because after the poisoning I have a phobia of poisons. I never again want to experience what I experienced during the poisoning. It was pure hell. I'd literally rather die in a guillotine. Anything is better than poison.

N is guaranteed to be peaceful, it would be nothing like whatever poison you took. Most poisons will cause an excruciating death but N and similar barbiturates are the exception which is why they're so revered. But I can also understand why a phobia of poisons would make it harder for you to drink N, I'm sorry you had to go through that.

 

[completely-done]

Actually when I think of it I would love to blow my brains out with a shotgun. Too bad my psychiatric history is tainted which prevents me from qualifying for a license

 

[Seafoam]

N's looking pretty good to me right now.

I've seen a number of shotgun/handgun suicides. It's pretty much a no-brainer if done correctly. Point it at the center mass of your brain, and it's instantly lights out. That guy who just blew his face off clearly never checked his stance in a mirror.

Not something to inflict on family though. As for the N, there's a recent post talking about how the awful taste of N prevented the guy from drinking it all, with hospital ICU and 'psych jail' being the result. The impairment from a failed poison suicide could be just as bad as a failed shotgun suicide, albeit in different ways.

With the quickness of a guillotine, you get "up to" 20 or 30 seconds of consciousness after the fact. At least according to the reports. Heads have blinked to answer prearranged questions, and have looked around at the people watching them. There's interesting literature on that topic.
