Through the mouth or side of the head? I personally would rather do side of the head because in the mouth makes me think you could feel the bullet go through before you die.

You're definitely not gonna feel the shot lol, though i agree with doing it through the side of your head, i think it would be uncomfortable to have a barrel on your mouth until you pull the trigger

I was gonna say this too, lol. Yeah I just feel that having the metal piece in your mouth may even create some semblance of a stronger SI, that's just my theory though. All in all, as long as you aim correctly to your head, it doesn't matter if you go from the inside or outside—just as long as it's pointing directly at the proper spot to your brain.

There is absolutely no chance you feel pain from the pellets between your mouth and brain. The time it takes will be on the order of microseconds. Way too fast for any kind of pain recognition. If it were my method, holding a shotgun to the side of the head would feel awkward. I would stick it under my chin, aiming towards the back of my head. This would also, depending on the length of the shotgun, allow me to rest the stock on the ground, or braced against a log or something. Feels a little less clumsy in my opinion.
shotguns are quite powerful. Not only are there the pellets, but there will also be a huge pressure wave that will also inflict catastrophic damage. Except for the absurdly rare cases, its as close to 100% certainty as you can get.

Try both with an unloaded weapon and see which is more comfortable for you. I was surprised by how awkward and hard it is to aim a revolver from the side. But shot placement isn't a big issue for you, you're good either way.

I need to get a damn shotgun and stop agonizing about FSH or maybe charcoal or maybe SN. It's a painless sure thing, at just the time you decide. It's barely different from flipping the lever that puts N in your bloodstream. If I'm serious about death, the Hemingway is the only way.

You still won't have time to feel anything. If anything, a .308 will be traveling faster. I'm assuming you are now trying to decide between the 2. If you don't care about the aftermath, and the people who would find your body, the shotgun seems like it would be easier. Most likely you can get one that is shorter, so it'll be easier to reach the trigger. But a .308 is still a very powerful round. I'm not an expert, but I think the pressure wave coming out of the barrel of the .308 would be similar enough to also cause the catastrophic damage. Both will be over the instant you pull the trigger. Good Luck

What I saw in the er was that shots that were placed under the chin and angled to the brain stem and directly at the brain always killed the patient .

Very dangerous putting any gun under your chin. In the rare cases of failed attempts, that's usually the mistake they made.
You want to target the brainstem. Temple is not a great target.

I was thinking cause all of the .308 rifles i've personally seen are fairly long, whereas I have seen shotguns that are shorter. Trigger to end of barrel.
