Hi guys,
I know there is a firearm thread here, but I haven't been able to find any precise info on how to shoot at the brain stem, i've read so many mixed instructions such as between the eyes, inside the mouth, at the right temple... Any guidelines would be much appreciated

Xx

I've always heard it was behind the ear.

One way to hit the brain stem is to put the gun in your mouth and aim about 30 degrees upward

Gun in the mouth from what i hear. You should also look up diagrams on the internet for an accurate location

No do not put the gun in your mouth or anywhere pointing at your face. That's where most mistake's happen. Just Don't.

Here's the firearms megathread: https://sanctioned-suicide.net/threads/guns-firearms-megathread.9042/

If you have time try to talk to @thrw_a_way1221221 about where to place it.

But I don't remember if you should angle the gun upwards to hit the brain or doing it straight. So Please take this with a grain of salt and research it yourself.

@Meretlein and @WhiteRabbit The only times where 'through the ear' makes sense is with a side arm (pistol or revolver) as it has a much shorter barrel (4 inches for most standard handguns) making it easier to maneuver and position. Also, the other reason people shoot through the ear is that it reaches the 'brainstem'. When people ctb via long guns, that isn't physically feasible, thus they put it in their mouth and aim it at around 30-45 degrees to ensure it hits the brainstem.

When ctb'ing with a firearm, always make sure to have correct placement and adequate caliber to ensure the highest chance of successfully CTB'ing. This means no .22lr, .17 HMR, .22s, or any weak caliber. For rifles, generally recommend .308 Winchester or 7.62x39mm, and for shotguns, 00 buckshot, PDX1 Defender ammo. Finally for handguns, .38 special for revolvers or .357 magnum and 9mm, .40, .45 for semi-auto pistols to ensure success.

So a 44 special is good?

Do you think placing the gun anywhere other than behind the ear would still be sufficient? Like as long as it is near the ear or in the middle of the side of the head?

It should be, however, it is a big cartridge and has a LOT of recoil, so you must consider that as well, especially if you are shooting through the ear versus through the mouth. Just make sure that you hold it firmly and try not to anticipate the recoil (the flinch is what causes people to miss what they are shooting).

Well, it has to reach the brainstem and the ear or behind the ear is one of the best places to reach it without too much bone getting in the way. I think someone else might be able to explain it better than me here.

Apologies for the questioning too, but should you point it firmly straight or put it at an angle upward to hit more of the brain?

Thanks again for your input.

I would say point it at an angle upward to hit more of the brain, but keep in mind to too far up as you would only blow off the part of the brain responsible for emotions and language (effectively lobotomizing yourself) while in a lot of agony and possibly a vegetable.

Np and I'm glad I could help others out there as much as I can with anything relating to firearms. While I'm not an expert on firearms compared to Threads, TiredHorse, or a few others, I know just enough to answer some basic questions and stuff.

Any tips on how to not flinch? You seem to know a lot about guns, thanks for sharing the info.

@Meretlein I don't have many tips except that when you are firing a gun, you would generally squeeze the trigger until it fires instead of "pulling/yanking the trigger" which is what happens. Also, when shooting a gun, try not to anticipate the recoil (like thinking about the gun firing before it actually 'fires') as that is what results in flinching.

@Circles Thanks and I'll try to help as much as I can while I'm around.

Thread is long so maybe it may gave been mentioned.

I'd like to eviscerate the brain and putright destroy it close to instant.

Thinking shotgun is the next closest thing. Any tips on a cheap brand and the bullet type needed?

Or even something more exotic as a gun that can do a better job.

Also, I've heard that shooting the external T Box of the face, like from the nose is good. This is instead of the brainstem.

I know the brainstem is recommended but I fear that pain or discomfort is still around since stopping breathing doesn't mean painless. I feel strongly that getting rid of the other centers such as consciousness and other areas will bring it closer to painless, as lsoing oxygen and bloodflow is it's own pain. Most EEG scans of people dying in the hospital show the body continually try to boot up and live even with drugs.

Also, is there a best way to acquire a shotgun without a license? I'm too sick atm to acquire a license.

The firearm megathread, specifically members like Tired Horse, make it seem reassuring that a gun in the mouth is a viable option.

It honestly depends on what country and state/province/etc. you live in. If you're in the U.S., states like California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and other states that have gun control laws of some form, some kind of state license or certification will be required before being able to purchase any firearm. At least in the U.S., all states require filling out the ATF Form 4473 to run a background check. In states with minimal gun laws, the 4473 is the most you have to do save for paying for the cost of the gun. Long guns are generally easier to acquire than hand guns, but still...it is worth noting that there are a list of reasons that can ban you from firearm ownership for life, like being a felon in prison for more than a year, having been involuntarily committed to a mental institution, and so on. Course, there's always private party purchases with individuals in which a background check isn't required, but there's changing legislation with that. And of course, if you live anywhere outside the U.S., well...gun laws are likely to be more strict and require some form of license or certification for any form of firearm ownership. I'm not as certain with black power firearms and the legalesse surrounding them, but for a shotgun, this all would apply I believe.

I asked the same since that's where most point at. I'd say as long as it's not the frontal lobe or anywhere near the face. Don't know enough about placement for rifles or shotguns so I'd assume it depends. With handguns yes I'd say anywhere in the middle would be sufficient enough but close to the temporal lobe above the brain stem. But remember to research this yourself and don't take my word for it. I only know some of this from other users who are using this method.

It's too risky there are other methods that are not as risky. Like nitrogen tank, nembutal, even Carbon monoxide.
