What’s the worst area on your head to shoot yourself in?

[idklol92828]

Just curious, but what are some of the worst areas on your head that you can aim aim at to ctb using a gun? And how should I aim it correctly? I read that you aim it at your brain stem but I'm afraid of missing and ending up in some life support forever since the brain stem is a little below. And what are the best areas to aim at for maximum effectiveness?

From what I've gathered… worst is under chin. Could hit many things before brain, or could miss entirely.

Best seems either, slightly above or behind ear, or mouth at 45 degree angle. For handgun.

Shotgun, same but i see chest too.

Could aiming at the temple still yield a high success rate? It seems like the most popular area for people doing CTB and most common.

No. It seems a Hollywood thing only. You will still potentially miss anything fatal

Do you think behind the ear will work?

No it's the worst, & not the most common. It's well known to do little more than sever the optic nerve, so you'd just go blind.

This is absolutely not true. The worst place to aim is under the chin. A temple shot hits a major artery in the brain and part of the brain stem. Many MANY people die with a shot to the temple. I used to think the temple was a poor place to aim but was corrected by someone who knew way more about this than I do (I can not find their post currently, alas).
