Method Failed Firearm CTB with .50 cal ?

[awaitingdeath]

Is there any known case of a failed firearm CTB with a .50 cal gun ? Asking this because CTB with a .50 cal gun is the only method I can commit to that doesn't involve others.

Not an expert but im pretty sure its guaranteed lethality if you hit the brain stem

I don't see how it can fail at point blank range to the head, not face to the head. The permanent Damage to head , brain, or heart is to the maximum reach of the expansion of the gel:

There's always a risk of failure.

that is the overall failure rate which I guess must be mostly caused by underpowered guns. If I ever commit a firearm suicide it will be with a .50 cal beast only. So far I haven't come across a survivor with .50 cal.

I mean there's always a risk of failing anything guaranteed if you do it wrong. When you watch footage of some person at the range who breaks their nose from recoil because they held it there, you don't blame the weapon.

And yes OP, .50 cal will destroy your brain if you use it properly. Like you said, shocking amount of people use weak calibers like .22. Other most common mistake is holding under the chin like what was linked.
