Method Will a 9 mm caliber gun kill me?

[Anónimo]

Hello, gun experts. Will I die if I shoot myself at the side of the head, a bit behind and above the ear? Will I get unconscious quickly? Or should I shoot somewhere else? The gun is 9 mm.

I believe you are targeting the brain stem. You will become unconscious immediately and bleed profusely. It is doubtful you would feel any pain.

I have looked at several medical studies and angles related to gunshot attempts for suicide, I researched this method a lot. A good estimate for this to work is maybe an 80% chance, which is typically for gun attempts- an average success rate. I saw a video of someone who tried this on youtube and a big chucnk of his head was missing on the one side but he survived.

That's scary. Where did he shoot himself?

Thing bout bullets in they ricochet too damn much. Their too fuckin aerodynamic and just bounce right across say blood. Just like with other methods, this is a tricky one cus one don't know if the bullet is ever gonna make it to the brain. Tech speaking, a rifle had a much better penetrating power than a handgun.

Thanks for the reply. Why is everything so difficult...

There's a guns megathread with more info

Agreed,. A smaller caliber like a 9mm... Will certainly do the job but you must be careful on your aim.. I'm choosing either my 12ga or 7mm-08. Very confident in either of those.

Please be safe and consider everything before you decide. -. Thoughts and prayers to you always.

Here is a link to one person's video like this, though I have seen at least one more on youtube that was very similar. The thumbnail shows a big chunk of his head missing originally (this is not in the video thoug, so you have to go bakc to the thumbnail) but they later reshaped his skill and he got back to normal- he was very lucky. Some end up disabled, and some ctb.

If your talking about the video I'm thinking of He used a .22 caliber which is the worst choice imo

They also removed part of his skull temporarily to relieve swelling

Well, if a 9mm does not kill you, it will damn sure give you an ouchie to remember!

Always use hollow point bullets.
