It doesn't look like he does right away. Idk what to do. And the sigh he makes really loud after.

And idk what caliber to pick 9mm .40 or .45. 9mm penetration is better. But smaller bullet. Afraid it will ricochet or not cause enough blood loss. .40 and .45 are bigger but might not penetrate.

That video is my favorite handgun suicide video you can see where he aims and its instantaneously, and you shouldn´t be worried about using a 45. it won´t richochet I have only heard that can happen using a 22. and with a 45. you shouldn´t worry at all.

dont shoot the temple. the parts of the brain that kill are the medula and spine, both at the back of neck. youll just become a vegatable. also, id recomend the heart as nde (or whatever you call if after you die) comes from the medula, and makes the process peaceful

Aiming for the heart is very dangerous as the ribcage can deflect bullets even at point blank. You could aim inbetween the ribs but is it worth it?

Just stick the barrel in the mouth and aim for the soft palate.

If you are lucky to have a gun, take out the brainstem.
You are dead in an instant, without undergoing the process of 'dying', where the brain slowly shuts down as you have with hanging, ODs, SN, N, gas, basically every conceivable method that does not remove the brainstem. Every method you use not targeting the brainstem is unpredictable to some extent, because the brain, the centre for experiencing pain and time, dies slowly. You can have a pleasant experience, you can have a horrible one.
Shooting yourself in the chest is an absolutely bad idea, if I may say so. You will, even if DMT is released, not have a peaceful or pleasant death. You will be in pain from the shot itself, your heart will not pump anymore and you will die from oxygen deprivation of the brain, as with all other methods. In addition, depending on how 'good' a shot you are trying not to shoot through or around the sternum, you might nick the lungs which will start to fill with blood, so you additionally drown in your own blood... And this just describes the physical situation.
Shots to the temple can, if you flinch or don't aim high/ backwards enough, leave you blind, or just without higher cognitive functions.
If you can, go for the brainstem, either through the mouth or behind the ear.

Yeah I cannot hit the medulla or whatever jts called. I do not trust I will hit that. I'm just going for the temple. Plan on aiming at the temple but higher than where my eye is. Like an inch higher than my eye?

9mm, .40, or .45? I cannot decide. 9mm penetrates better but afraid it might bounce off skull. .40 and .45 are bigger and more blood loss but afraid a .45 wont penetrate.

What about that groan be makes? Doesn't it look like hes still alive and moving
Why not just buy a shotgun? It'll rip your head right off.
Too messy. People have to clean it up

I see why that can be a concern but I am sure that is just a reflex of the muscles tensing up I have read many articles about gunshot to the head and you will go unconcious immediately it takes your brain around 200 milliseconds to register what is going on so you actually won´t even be able to hear the 'bang' from the gunshot before you go unconcious try and imagine that.

I can link some other videos of handgjun suicide tomorrow if you want to see them.

The more gun suicide videos I see, the more peaceful it seems. Although, all three videos the person went to the temple. I have yet to see one though the mouth or behind the ear.

It is the blood clots that actually kill you. Yes, you are likely a "vegetable" until then.
The head does not take that type of abuse well.

I'd suggest that before you do this, you look at a profile X-ray or mri of the head. Note where the eyes are and how little brain is nearby. The ears can be a good point of reference, since they are close to the bulk of the brain. But please, avoid the temple. The scans will show you that the path through the temple mostly runs through the optic nerves. Aiming higher MIGHT get the frontal lobe, but that's pretty high level software. No basic life functions controlled by the frontal.

OP, watch this 2 videos:

This guy aim at temple with a shotgun, his whole brain fall out to his shoulder, massive bleeding with a full brain come out, he died immediately.

This guy worst, his whole head blast out to pieces. And he use a KSG Kel-Tec shotgun, this shotgun is powerful. BAM, whole head to pieces. You got to die instant if your head is into pieces.

There, watch it OP.

I insist, shooting in mouth in the soft tissue, even if drive to a enough quick bus, has some failure chance because in anatomy you are hitting the lower part of the brainstem and the spinal cord, if perfectly centered. Slighly left or right due recoil may drive to a failure hitting the low side of brain.

Shoot in temple need to be very precise hitting the vascular area, recoil may drive to failure or blindness.

As anatomy student i can say that the perfect hit point is in mouth aim in direction of the hair vertex (that part of hairs that resemble a hurricane), with a single shot:

1) Hits the center of brainstem
2) Hits the brain
3) Hits the cerebellum
4) The shockwave on bones, may rip off the spinal cord and high percentage of gray brain.

Death in milliseconds.

I would say also that the found body is not so horrible to see, all the brain damage and bloodstream are in the back of the face and the body.

Have a KSG. Not going to use it to ctb. The mess would be unfathomable. It is a very, very powerful gun. Also very, very fun to shoot.

I'd agree with those saying brainstem. Not much room for error once your aiming there. The temple can just make you blind and disfigure your face but still keep you alive.
If you hit the brainstem, you won't even hear the "bang" of the gun.

Curious as to why anyone would ignore all of the perfectly legitimate and accurate reasons why shooting yourself in the temple is a really bad idea?
Because you like the way it looks in videos ??? Because that's how movies usually show it ???

It's pretty basic anatomy … there is very little of significant importance between your temples. It is much easier to survive that shot... so why would it appeal to you so much ?
You're not going to be able to watch it, so whether or not you think it looks cooler is rather a mute point.

There are plenty of examples of people shooting themselves in the temple and failing. I've heard that it's safer to shoot yourself through the ear, but I won't swear by it.

Shooting yourself in the head is one of the most reliable methods there are, but no method is foolproof. A disadvantage with this method is that if it against all odds would go wrong, the condsequnces can be absolutely nightmarish.

As for the sigh, it's very common to sigh when you die. It's probably only air escaping from the lungs.

Yes that's correct. I worked in palliative care for years and that "sigh" happens in 99% of natural deaths. I usually waited on that sigh then recorded time of death after hearing it as that indicated the point of no return. Extra breaths and muscle twitches can happen but it's only a reflex, the person is gone and totally unaware (pupils are fixed and dilated even as these reflexes occur which indicates brain stem death.)

I don't get this either and I don't mean to step on any toes, but when you've got the most reliable method of suicide available to you, why in the world botch it? I really don't get it, and cosmetical reasons to me are no where near proportionate to the risk of completely destroying one's life with a failed attempt which could've easily been avoided.

Shooting yourself in the head is one of the most reliable methods there are, but no method is foolproof. A disadvantage with this method is that if it against all odds would go wrong, the condsequnces can be absolutely nightmarish.

Indeed, which is why some people would tie a noose around their neck to drop into.
