I don't think he was conscious for any of that.

Thank you so much bro. I really appreciate it. These are some really good ones. Just helps confirm the lethality of firearm suicides. This or hanging will be how I ctb. Thanks again :)
Yeah that is why I like to see the pics and videos too because it confirms how lethal handgun suicide are and I actually haven´t seen a handgun suicide fail only heard of them or heard about someone getting shot from a distance with a handgun but point blank suicide with a handgun seems pretty damn lethal.

I also will either do partial hanging or handgun temple shot.

To the people saying why am I choosing temple for the "looks", it has nothing to do with looks lol. Aiming for the temple is common and reliable. Aiming and hitting the brainstem is super hard to do with a gun in your mouth and you may miss and sit there and choke and drown in your own blood if you miss.

I hope I didn't offend you, because I feel I'm one of those people. But to be fair, you did say that a shotgun was too messy and a hassle for the clean up crew and another person was playing with the same idea and/or smaller calibres because they wanted it to be "clean" (different threads). Honestly, this should be the least of your worries. It may not be a nice sight, but it's what they do. They even have IG pages detailing this stuff. If it does bother you that much I'd suggest a tarp, someplace outside or maybe a smooth surface which can be easily cleaned. I just don't think you should put your life at risk for such reasons. But as always, it is your choice and you have my support no matter what.

Ludwig Beck, a German general, also shot himself in the temple and had to be finished off. In all likelihood it will get the job done, but it's something to consider and minimising the probability is probably the best you can do.

Carl-Heinrich von Stulpnagel - another German general - suffered a similar fate. He shot himself in the head, but only managed to blind himself. He was subsequently hanged. Both Beck and Stulpnagel had been involved in the abortive 20 July plot against Hitler.

Another General Stulpnagel, Otto (Carl-Heinrich's cousin) committed suicide in a French prison in 1948, though I don't know what method he used.

I suspect that Beck and C-H Stulpnagel used 7.65mm pistols (aka .32 ACP.) German senior officers typically carried pistols of this calibre rather than the more bulky P-08 and P-38 9mm pistols.

Yeah, I tried to check for the calibre earlier with a quick search, but in all probability your right. Talking about the 20th July plot, Henning von Treschkow used a hand grenade under his chin, now that is the way to go. Poor souls.

I mean I would aim higher than the temple. Like an inch higher so I hit brain. But do I use my 9mm or 45. 9mm is smaller but higher velocity. 45 is bigger but slow. Afraid 9mm will fragment and not go through skull and .45 won't because 2 slown.

He doesn't even sigh that loudly, he maybe made a small grunting sound like "mmpff" but to me it seemed barely audible, the death seemed fairly instantaneous in the video in question posted by the OP.

Having said that, I have seen head shot videos that involved LOUD sighing and GROANING that really disturbed me, and deterred me from this method, along with the mess.

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.

The brainstem is harder to access than people realize. Because certain parts of the skull are thickest in that area

How do you access the brainstem behind the ear? Because I read that the very thickest part of the skull is located there.
Here are some videos, I have more I have downloaded but don´t have the links for, but if you want I have a lot of handgun suicide pictures too but I don´t know if you are just interested in the videos.



Why does the arm of the guy in the video look like it still moves after he falls? How are we sure that these people actually died?

I can't watch the other videos, I didn't mean to watch that one through, I was just trying to view placement. Why does the most effective method have to be so scary? :(

i remember all these people. what did they make me that i'm still here .

. a high powered rifle or shotgun hit anywhere near the middle of the head there is no way a human or other land animal could ever survive, there wouldn't be all this discussion of failure.

from a rifle a bullet travelling 3000 feet per second hitting a head. the head won't be there. 3000 feet per second is 90% of a kilometer in one second picture that. regular hand gun bullets travel at 1/3 that velocity . know that the power of the bullet increases by the square of the velocity not linearly .

a bullet from a hunting rifle can instantly drop a large 1000 pound animal from 400 meters away when hit near the middle of the head. when the bullet has lost a lot of it's power. a contact shot is orders of magnitude more powerful. and plus the thousands of degrees hot gasses go into the brain at that velocity or higher. but some have told me here that this is survivable.
