Would an M57 do the trick?

[Kemmerich]

I've previously posted/discussed my plans to take my life using a firearm. At first, I planned on using an M44 Nagant rifle, but after researching which firearms were said to be most effective when used in a suicide attempt, I decided to save up and buy a 12 gauge shotgun instead (not only is this said to be more effective than a rifle round, but it also has a muzzle that's easier to fit into one's mouth than that of a russian combat rifle). I also made sure to secure a location out of doors and far enough from civilization to ensure that I would be dead before anyone could find me and get medical aid on the scene. The next step was to sit back and wait for the summer season to arrive. The problem is, the weather in my neck of the woods has already begun to warm enough for me to go outside and off myself. I don't yet have a shotgun, and I have decided against using a rifle. I do, however, have a pistol in my possession. It fits well enough in my mouth that I can set it at the 15 degree angle that I've read is necessary to ensure the destruction of the parts of the brain responsible for keeping the body alive and functioning. I just need to know if this pistol will be powerful enough to get the job done. The previously mentioned pistol is a Yugoslavian M57, chambered in 7.62x25.

What is the motivation in using a pistol when you can otherwise buy a shotgun?

The the fact that the pistol is already in my possession coupled with the desire to end my life as soon as possible. Already know the shotgun would be the best bet, but if the pistol is powerful enough to get the job done (without the need for absolute precision), I'll just cut to the chase and use what I've already got. Otherwise, I'll wait til I get a shotgun.

Damn I'd be too scared I think to blow my own head off. It takes guts to blow them out.

Lethal drugs are the most peaceful means, but actually getting your hands on them is another matter. That being said, death by firearm is the most efficient method currently at my disposal.

7.62 would be plenty. How many grains are in the rounds you have? And as I've mentioned before, avoid using a FMJ. If that's all you have, cutting a cross section on the tip MIGHT work to give a hollow point effect, but go with a hollow point overall. Your neighbors will also thank you as well.
