What are the chances of survival with a 12 gauge shotgun?

I heard it's instant, that's if you do it at the right angle and if you use a slug. The only thing I'm worried about is that I will fuck it up and become a vegetable, that will RUIN everything. I don't want to have to go through all the stress before ctb just so I fuck it all up. I want to make sure I have the right angle but how do I even know if it's the right angle? You know? It's all a gamble at the end of the day, either I'm successful & it's lights out or I fuck up and leave myself mangled and alive for a while until I die of blood loss.

you aim for the brain stem and there's practically zero chance of survival. but i won't tell you that it's completely zero.

as for the angle to aim, I've read about aiming 30-35° at the roof of your mouth. but then again, you should consult the Guns Megathread.
