Double gun suicide

[Jessica5]

You hold a handgun to each side of your head, and fire both at the same time.

What do you think of this?

I'm surprised by how rarely this method is used.

Have you seen the suicide helmet? That's a clever idea

How about we up the ante and use our toes as well. I want maximum assurance.

I doubt the likelihood of simultaneous firing two guns and when all it takes is one bullet to pierce through the skull faster than a blink of an eye; disabling the person from firing the second, having a breath and or last thought.

Just getting one is hard enough

I'd be concerned that the kickback would move the gun/s out of place and the bullets would cause damage, but not kill, and I'd end up a vegetable or paralyzed or something. I also have very weak arms so keeping things steady would be even more a challenge for me personally. That said, I know very little about guns so maybe there are firearms out there that don't have a lot of kickback and this method would be successful.

I would have thought so too, but I just came across autopsy photos of just this a few days ago! I posted a link to the photos in another thread, but I can't recall which one.

It has been done: a pair of .25s, at either side of the temple. As pathetically underpowered as .25s are, and that he aimed at his temples, it's probably just as well he used two. I'm still surprised he succeeded.

This is a common and ridiculously pervasive myth. Kickback only happens after the gun is fired. Therefore, it will not --cannot-- throw off your aim.

Pulp Fiction vibes. Badass. I'd do it.

That's very artistical....
