Need opinions on a method

[Zenova_]

Cattle captive bolt guns. The things they use to 'humanely' kill large animals. They require no license to own in the USA and are usually under $500 and can be ordered online. They kill by launching a metal rod into the skull at point-blank. Do you think this would be a good method? I'm desperate.

Sounds brutal, what if you somehow survive with a metal rod inside your head? :(

It is designed to instantly kill cattle, who have thicker skulls and larger heads. I doubt I am surviving. I think it would be similar to a point-blank headshot.

Idk, but there was a post about this here yesterday.

A pistola de dardo cativo, em regra, não "mata" o animal; ela é usada para atordoá-lo (deixá-lo inconsciente) imediatamente. A morte ocorre posteriormente, quando se realiza a sangria, que é a etapa seguinte do abate humanitário.

There are different types of bolts. "Penetrative" bolts are what I intend to use, and they breach the skull as their piston destroys the contents around the point of contact. Considering that there is only around .7 inches between the epidermis and the brain at the forehead, it should go through the skull quite easily. There are bolts which are designed to only stun livestock, but I will be using the lethal ones.

I would test it extensively first, before ever considering putting it to your own head. Maybe get some things like a large coconut or a big leg of meat from the butcher and see what kind of damage it does. Also consider using it in conjunction with another method as a type of failsafe. And the usual advice of not being found early etc. The risk of being kept alive as a vegetable with such a method, would be very real and so needs to be very well planned.

And do not go through the forehead, it's a bad idea. People frequently sustain injuries to the front part of the brain and survive.

Existem diferentes tipos de dardos. Pretendo usar dardos "penetrantes", que perfuram o crânio à medida que o pistão destrói o conteúdo ao redor do ponto de contato. Considerando que há apenas cerca de 1,8 cm entre a epiderme e o cérebro na testa, o dardo deve atravessar o crânio com relativa facilidade. Existem dardos projetados apenas para atordoar o gado, mas usarei os letais.

Mesmo o dispositivo de perfuração com dardo cativo não é considerado um método confiável para causar a morte por si só. Sua função é induzir inconsciência imediata; portanto, a exsanguinação (sangria) deve ser realizada imediatamente depois para garantir a morte.

What area of the brain do you recommend? I'm not sure I could reach the brain stem with the length of the piston.

Yeah, that would be my worry too. But there isn't much of a choice. Side of the head above and behind the ear is the best bet imho. But it's very risky. It will likely render you unconscious, but I don't know how quickly death would come.

If it was me, I would go with something like a partial hanging set up with it. But that's just me…

Is this the type you're talking about? I honestly don't know enough about them, but they seem quite similar to a nail gun, loaded with 22 blanks. There have been a few cases of death from nail guns too.

I did see this video, but the one I am speaking about in particular is the Blitz Bullen Captive Bolt Penetrating Stunner for Large Livestock from PBSanimalhealth. I'm not particularly confident in my ability to perform a partial hanging. My issue with CTB methods has always been methods that give you time to appreciate your mortality while you die.

I wasn't really talking about performing partial hanging. Just that you'd fall into the noose after firing the bolt, this would prevent regaining consciousness in the event it didn't cause instant death.

Or use two? One each side of the head. That would target both hemispheres of the brain, similar to the effects of a gunshot.

If I was going out this way I would rather aim at my heart, I think, after testing to ensure it would definitely go through. (Assuming that's possible and the gun is not too long or whatever, idk)
