What is your opinion on the lethality of a .300 Winchester Magnum shot aimed at the hard palate, considering the possibility of slight muzzle movement or recoil during the shot? Do you believe these factors could significantly impact the chances of survival?
there's almost no chance of survival if don't flinch before shot . and if deep in mouth a few inches whole head will explode imo

Wounds of high-energy centerfire rifles and shotguns represent distinctive injuries of forensic importance. Previous studies of contact wounds have shown variability in the potential of these weapons to produce bursting wounds of the head. The present study analyzed contact head wounds owing to 26 centerfire rifles and nine shotgun slugs and compared them with respect to weapon, ammunition, entry wound site, and projectile kinetic energy. The bursting effect, defined for this study as disruption of at least 50% of the head, occurred in 25/35 of cases and was related to kinetic energy. Bursting was associated with energies <2700 ft-lbs in 12/22 cases and energies >2700 ft-lbs in 13/13 cases. The volume of gunpowder gas injected into the wound was considered as contributing to the bursting phenomenon. There was no relation of bursting to the specific entrance wound site, type of ammunition, or projectile fragmentation.

And no, you can't gain permits
In most states you can just throw your shekels forth and get your weapon unless it is a pistol
Would the 20 gauge work? I need death like water
I also wonder if if taping the muzzle would help
yeah a 20 gauge would work imo. but a 12 gauge is even more reliable imo. a 12 gauge has more power.
tldnr: fastest 12 gauge shotgun slug 1760 fps 28 inch barrel = 2800 energy / power. 9mm hand gun = 362 power and 362 still deadly so imo contact shot with shotgun very unlikely to fail. a 9mm hand gun can kill from a distance but contact shots send all energy and liters of gasses into the brain as well as bullet. contact shots more deadly .
Things that affect the power / energy exploded into the brain are gauge and velocity of ammo. for example a 437 grain slug with a muzzle velocity of 1760 fps has more power than ammo weighing the same but going slower.
the longer barrel lengths especially increase velocity and so have more power exploded into the brain.
to increase reliability i would use a 12 gauge with a 1 once slug going 1760 fps . and use the longest barrel shotgun i can handle and put in mouth or to the side of the head aiming for brainstem.
in mouth a few inches is more reliable but side the head aiming for brain stem if don't flinch is practically certain imo.
in this video he tested the velocity of that 1760 fps 1 oz slug . but the barrel lenght was only 18 inches so the velocity was lower . i've seen another video a guy tested the same type of slug with longer and shorter barrels the 28 inch barrel was close to 1700 fps much faster than the 18 inch barrel . higher velocity increases the energy / power.
in this video he got 1621 fps with an 18 inch barrel and computed the energy at 2550. this will still probably explode the head and penetrate the head you hit even close to the back of the head or brain stem it's over. keep in mind that 2218 is orders of magnitude more power than a handgun . a 9mm gun can have 362 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle 2550 > 362 . but 362 can still kill even at a distance . the 28 inch barrel gets much more energy 2805 and will explode the head as the study showed above. the study showed that when kinetic energy > 2700 the head will burst completely . i downloaded the entire survey study and it's very good. i search on library genesis to download it. even a 9mm hand gun at 362 can kill from 10 meters away and the velocity has slowed a little and also if the handgun or shotgun is put against the head liters of gasses will follow the bullet inside the head imo not survivaval by either just the energy and gasses and bullet inside the brain especially if hit brain stem or close to brain stem.
