This. Some People overcomplicate suicide by gunshot to the extreme. As if the stars have to align, it's gotta be exactly 23 degrees out, the wind has to be 2km/h, you need the perfect angle, hit that perfect spot, that's all BS. Press the gun to your temple, bam, your're gone before you know it. That's why they're so great in the first place, they're simple to use and the chance of failure is miniscule.
Thank you! This is exactly what I discuss with other members mainly in the firearms thread I had to leave that thread because they made it out to be rocket science with aiming the gun 45 degrees angle in the mouth to hit the brain stem it completely took my courage away for the time and now I have dozens of pictures of videos where people shot themselves in the temple and it worked.
If anyone were to bet everything they had on that I would survive shooting myself in the temple with a 9mm Glock I am sure they wouldn´t take that bet because they would be 100% sure they would lose but somehow when you turn it around they think the chance of surviving is so great if you don´t hit that "precious" brain stem.
Another great example is if you look into mass shooters/school shooters who killed themselves none of the ones who shot themselves survived despite SWAT and medics was on standby seconds away from them.
I have researched the shit out of this so the people who claim aiming the gun in the mouth at a 45 degree angle is the only certain way to ctb should do some more research, if you shoot yourself through the eye that is a great method it´s called the kill triangle used by the military which can be found through a google search and even Budd Dwyer who shot himself in the mouth with his gun didn´t hit the brainstem at least in the video it appears he aims more upwards but the bullet still penetrated the brains center so he died also the amount of blood determines that he didn´t hit the brainstem because if he had hit that the heart would have stopped pumping blood that is also why in some suicide photos there arent a lot of blood because if death is instantaneously the heart stops pumping blood but just because you don´t die immediately doesnt mean you will suffer when the skull breaks through a gunshot you go unconcious and bleed out in seconds or about a minute.
Sorry now I ended up giving a whole lecture put the point is if you put a gun to you temple and press the trigger you will die there is no need to overcomplicate things by telling every member on here who wants to use a firearm to ctb that they need to hit a tiny peace of the brain (brainstem) by following a list of rules JUST put the gun to the temple and shoot done deal, that is exactly why I said all the methods mentioned by OP is going to work and I have evidence for all of them.
When you shoot yourself in the head you skull break with such force that you go unconcious the human´s reaction time is around 200 milliseconds so shooting yourself in the head happens so fast that you won´t even hear the 'bang' from the gunshot the bullet is inside your brain before the sound even happens, an example is if you have ever kicked a football very hard you will see it fly away and the sound come slightly after only that the speed of a bullet is way faster.
