Gunshot to the heart with a 9 mm Glock 19 gun, with Full Metal Jacket bullets. Would it kill me?

I don't know much about guns or bullets, but as you mentioned, the risk of becoming paralyzed is why I wouldn't use a gun as my method, personally. I know you're scared to shoot at your head, but I think the guide on this forum has instructions of how to aim to guarantee(?) it kills you, but they recommend a shotgun instead

Because a shotgun is FAR more effective , and usually far easier to obtain in many places than a hand gun as well.

.32 caliber is smaller than a 9mm or .38 but it is the caliber that police in both the US and Europe used in their revolvers for many years. A 12 guage (the most common shotgun) 3" magnum shotgun shell contains fifteen (15) pellets each the size of a .32! A 10 guage shotgun is even more powerful but rare.

9mm, that they are talking about here, usually comes in a semi-automatic gun as opposed to a revolver. Revolvers are much simpler for an inexperienced person, or a person with weak hands, to use, and more reliable too. One big advantage that revolvers have over shotguns is that if shot "single action", that is with the hammer cocked (like you see them do in cowboy movies) is that the trigger then becomes very light, requiring a very light pull, "hair trigger", making it, I think, much easier to overcome SI (only revolvers with an exposed hammer can be shot single action).

00 and 000 buckshot are both enough . but 000 buckshot each pellet is .36 caliber and each 70 plus grains. it has 10 pellets. if i had a choice 000 is more massive than 00 buckshot .36 caliber vs .32 caliber . what do you think ?

Both are more than enough to do the job.

The sig on the bottom of your post - too true.

This should be posted on the firearm mega thread, no?

I saw in person shot in the heart with a handgun bullet, similar to your 9 mm except it was an expanding bullet and it did expand tremendously, once. Death was instantaneous.

It should be successful. Most failures are due to poor aiming and last split second involuntary flinching, and because of inadequate fire power. The mouth method is good because the gun barrel is stabilized with the lips and teeth. Perhaps there's a way to tape the gun barrel on to your chest to alleviate the possibility of the last instant flinch. If you must do this do it in a private place and take blood thinners or aspirin and maybe fish oil too so that if you do not die instantly you will bleed out. Use the most powerful 9mm you can obtain, 9mm +P or +P+ if you can get it and if your firearm can handle it. I think you should die instantly if you hit the heart.

I am sorry that you - we - are here and thinking like this. God bless you.

So do you think the method can work and kill me with the type of gun and bullet I mentioned? I could hold the gun at point blank to my chest where the heart is located, if the gun is so near me then the bullet should hit my heart, even if a Full Metal Jacket bullet isn't as powerful as a hollow point it's still powerful and can kill. I think that even if I miss the heart and maybe hit one of my lungs instead it should still kill me, the lungs are also major organs, but death would be even slower probably than dying from a gunshot to the heart. I'm just afraid of missing the heart and surviving, although I think the method should work if I put the gun that close to my chest
