Guns

[Blueberry Jelly]

Soo much information. Where to aim, what caliber etc...

Does it all really matter, is it really something to take into consideration? I see a lot of "ended up surviving" stories. Is that just nonsense? Not saying it's not possible but is it like the one in a million scenario?

I've made up my mind on this I'm just trying to sort the details and I'm just wondering how many of the details really apply to the end product, you know?

its amazing how many actually survive headshots. There was this video of a woman shooting a guy Devyn Holmes on fb live video point blank - he looks pretty dead but miraculously survived. Its definitely a possibility unless you use a shotgun or a cannon.

Gun, would have been my method. I think it just depends on location, because a lot of survivors did so because they were in range for someone to get them to a hospital. So being in a remote area is probably best.

I get it, Blueberry. I too am committed to the gun method. I have learned a lot from the firearms thread that has built my confidence. The largest gain was when I read to desensitize by practicing putting it in your mouth. Brilliant suggestion, and I do it regularly and will until CTB date. Caliber and placement is well covered in the discussions, and it certainly isn't nonsense to consider and avoid surviving gunshot. Hard to imagine many things worse than that. I wish you the very best in your journey.
Cheers!

if anyone has any specific or general questions into firearms and ammuniton let me know! i definitely reccommed a 12 gqauge shotgun buckshot or soft lead slugs but other calibers and ammunition can work well as well. definitly be alone and far from people when you do it for muiltiple reasons besides higher success rate.

Blueberry, hi there ! Fellow gun suicide-to-be here ! I think the method is the best, there are some good points on the firearms megathread that you might want to take into consideration though so as to be sure not to fail...yes I agree, the likelihood of failure is small, but it does happen when you use too small a caliber or point at the wrong place...if you do just a bit of research you can get it right and it can be failproof ! Ask Runrunaway for helpful hints !
