Thinking of buying a handgun for ctb

[Brokenheart666]

I read this is a cheaper and painless way I have access to. Although is there any specific things I should know before trying this method out so I don't fuck up?

There's a lot you should know:

Damn so definitely not a handgun then. I read a lot into the thread and got a bit lost, gun novice here. If I get a double barrel shotgun with birdshot while aiming in my mouth Im reading that would be the best most effective way? Although where to position it to where it's not too high is my only concern

No, you took the wrong message from the thread.

A 12ga shotgun is indeed a reliable method, using no less than #4 birdshot (larger, such as buckshot, is generally considered to offer better margin for error), but so is a handgun of adequately large caliber --no smaller than .38 Special in revolvers or 9mm in semiautomatics, and always use hollowpoints. If you do choose a shotgun, I advise against a double-barrel, as it is more difficult to fit it in your mouth, and you'll only be using one barrel anyway. (Double-barrel shotguns fire one barrel at a time; to that end, they often only have a single trigger.)

Aim is the most important factor: you must hit the brainstem to die. To do that, do not aim the gun at your temple or up from underneath your chin. Aim into your mouth, pointed straight back and angled slightly up, or behind your ear, aimed level and straight across side-to-side. There are diagrams in that megathread. The larger the caliber you choose, the better margin for error you have in case you miss the brainstem.

I see, would you recommend a single barrel shotgun with birdshot as the best method to provide the smallest margin for error even if aimed a bit too high or low? I'm only asking since I got one shot, literally.

I think you should be good - if aimed correctly. Look at this source: http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/statistics-most-lethal-methods
It lists suicide by shotgun wound as not only the most effective method (99%), but also a very quick death and relatively painless.

Yeah I've been on this website, which is why I chose this method. Plus easier to obtain than drugs although if I could get my hands on some fentanyl and maybe take it right before I do it then I'll be more confident.

It would be easier to just get alcohol to get more confident. That works for me at least.

Actually you're right, this is a much better idea.Thanks!

TiredHorse has good advice and yes, shotguns are generally more deadlier due to their spread and power (assuming #4 birdshot or better) to make up for the near misses. You'd still have to be close to the brainstem in order to die reliably quickly. Usually death still occurs due to blood loss, traumatic damage to the brain and shock. The brainstem is basically 100% guaranteed death.

Ugh. Buying a gun is one thing. Having survival kick in after you have one is another.

Sounds pretty straightforward to me, just to find a place to go since the sound will be loud, or I could do it when no one is home but then neighbors might get nosy. No silencer for a shotgun haha
