Beware of gunshots

[Rogue Proxy]

While shotguns with high-powered ammo are - Ahem! - super effective, the downside is their conspicuity. This is particularly problematic for those who cannot drive or have access to a vehicle to transport a shotgun, and are planning their existential escape outside their home.

Shotgun is foolproof. It doesn't feel right leaving a headless corpse if I don't have to tho.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

good thread. The misinformation regarding this subject is unbelievable. Many people spread wrong information about using guns for suicide

What if I put the muzzle behind my ear and point upwards toward my brainstem?

Fun (?) fact: in 1928, Joseph Stalin's son Yakov Dzhugashvili attempted suicide after a disagreement with his father, shooting himself in the chest. The attempt was unsuccessful. Stalin reportedly responded, "He can't even shoot straight."

According to Lost all Hope, a shotgun blast to the head has a 99% chance of being lethal, making it the most reliable method.
