Where in the head should one shoot themselves for best chance of success ?

Also how does the type of gun affect odds of success ? Are larger/heavier guns safer ?

Shotgun is safest. Be careful not too shoot straight up when putting the gun in your mouth (if you decide to do it that way). What can happen is that you blow your face off instead of your brain. You'll continue on living, just w/o a face and in pain.

Hmm the idea of putting the gun in my mouth and pulling the trigger feels disquieting. Is it definitely the most guaranteed method ? What about somewhere around the forehead ?

Not answering your question, keen myself to find out, but my 2 cents is I' pretty sure if you aim it at your temple you should not press the gun against your head but leave something like 1cm.
Not sure about the right spot yet

It's rare for a gun attempt to be unsuccessful, but to be safe, the cerebellum (at the entry point) controls autonomous functions like heartbeat and breathing, so hitting that is a good idea, and then as a curtesy to yourself, the prefrontal cortex (at the exit point) is what makes high-level conscious thought possible. Deconstructing that from the start should mean high-level consciousness is lost immediately, rather than having to wait however many seconds for the entire brain to switch off from blood loss.

On a planet of nearly 8 billion people you can find examples of things gone wrong, but suicide by firearm has a success rate as close to guaranteed as you can get. Just take a second to think about trajectory.

If you do the forehead you can just cause damage to your logical thinking. Try visiting lostallhope.com they have good tips. There's definitely nothing like tasting the barrel of a shotgun in your mouth. Mine were taken from me a while ago. Found my handgun the other day and the fucker wouldn't fire. I was also wasted when loading it. It's really hard to get yourself to pull the trigger.
