Where do i aim to hit the brain stem exactly? Like at the side obviously but where at the side.

@Emcc04 here is a good video illustrating a head shot. There is also a megathread on this topic you can access from the link provided.

Through the mouth out the back of the head seems the easiest way to me. Tilt the gun back and brace the barrel with your other hand. For a revolver at least. You don't want to interfere with the slide on an auto. Shooting through the temple seems awkward to me and more likely to mess up.

@Emcc04 Do you have a particular type firearm you are planning on using?

If your going with a shotgun, I reccomend you watch the Ronnie McNutt suicide video, as it clearly shows an effective placement.

There are also numerous medical journal entries, and publicized autopsy reports that give a good indication of proper firearm placement.
