Shotgun question for everyone: is there any reason to go for the heart instead of head?

If you want to leave your face intact. That's about the only reason.

For a guaranteed death and if you don't want to disfigure yourself.

But won't you be alive for a period of time? I think a Headshot would be near instantaneous, correct?

Some people prefer to suffer a little more, just to be displayed in an open casket at their funeral. A gunshot to the head leads to instant death because it destroys the entire mechanism that creates consciousness.

More guaranteed than head?!

It really is the way to go. Hanging looks quick but there's still a moment of strangling. I think I might do it at home too, sticking family with the mess. Sorry. I think I'll only do it where I'm comfortable. (I don't want to go to a park or something.)

Yes and you will most likely experience pain or shock.

More guaranteed than head?!

Yup, there's no cases of anybody surviving a contact shotgun blast to the chest unlike with some headshots due to them missing the brain.

I've been considering the chest shot vs head shot, myself. Just for extra certainty.

My uncle killed himself via chest shot. Might make it difficult for my family to deal with (considering I was, uh, named after him).
