is shotgun guaranteed to kill you?

[randomuser97]

i was tinking of buying shotgun because i don't want to take any risks. How good is a shotgun?

 

[ex_nihilo91]

If you put it in your mouth and shoot towards the brain, barring some miraculous act of god it should do the job.

 

[CarbonBased]

Uhhh, I wish I could just buy a shotgun. I would even settle for a regular pistol. Researching all these procedures is so daunting

 

[isthisthingon]

In survivals of this, which are very low, the failure comes from shooting their face as opposed to their brain. Aiming up to high or under the chin. Shotgun is the highest success rate of available options. Although it's scary AF.

I'd take a shotgun over SN or hanging 100 times out of 100, fucking hell I wish I lived in America

 

[NeedToGoNow12]

No it's not or I'd be gone. If you aim correctly then yes basically but there have been many failed attempts

It's not what?

Yeah, it seems a lot easier than it actually is. To commit anyway.

 

[NeedToGoNow12]

Not guaranteed

 

[isthisthingon]

Not guaranteed

It's as close you're going to get though. Statistically no other method has greater success.

 

[NeedToGoNow12]

Idk there seem to be a lot of stories of failures on Reddit. Definitely statistically the best but… trust me I'm planning jr bc I have to go soon but I'm scared of failure

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

could Ronnie Mcnut have failed. in the video it seems like a grenade to me . was aim important in that video ? was it ? how could that fail ?

it's not a grenade it's a rifle round. but it's the power of the rifle and ammo combination that makes failure almost impossible imo. same with shotgun video 1444 Gleb. also shuaiby shotgun. all on watchpeople die.

imo prolifers keep showing supposedely someone failed. if someone aimed at their face and flinched with an underpowered round then could fail . imo i use Ronnies very difficult to fail .

Reliability of a method depends on the level of intelligence. Some people have the intelligence of a bird. For example, see

I think, for those who lack basic common sense, EVERY suicide method will be unreliable.

wish i could bring you over here buddy

I don't find it as scary as most methods. Like a light switch almost.

That is one way to summarize it, a light switch. And a good way to think about it. Just pulling the switch.

The results if you fail are horrible though. Believe me i've come close, but I'm scared of failing. Also should say I'm not experienced with guns. I bought it and when shooting once. Of course if I've been shooting all my life and knew I wouldn't flinch. I'd feel differently. I'm sure. Can read all the information here but at the end of the day can't based it on that when the risk of failing is so great

I saw a video of a guy that shot himself in the face with a shotgun. It was traumatizing. I don't think I could do that to my family. It completely obliterated his face. Even if I were able to do it away from home, they'd still need to identify my body and they wouldn't be able to do that by looming at my face.

The risk of failing isn't that high though. 90% success. There are so many gun suicides in the US. The risk of failing is SI, just another thing at the back of your mind playing little tricks.

Do you think they always have to identify your body? I'd have my ID with me, car is registered to me. Curious about that now that you've mentioned it.

 

[NeedToGoNow12]

I wish. I don't know enough about how to brace gun, how to aim parentheses I get generally where to aim but I mean how to make sure when I'm in position bent down with sg in my mouth) i'd be gone today if I could

I completely understand, this uncertainty shakes me to my core as well. But sooner than later I have to take the chance. I don't want to be here any longer.

What do you think will be the piece of information or the last thing you need to attempt? I've read many of the gun threads (if not all of them) and there isn't any peace to be found with the method.

 

[NeedToGoNow12]

Honestly probably nothing. I'm desperate but it's hard to take the risk based on info here. I'd have to be a gun master myself to know. I don't know how to position the gun (as in how to brace it on the floor – my plan was to do in the backseat of my car sitting and bending over with it in my mouth.) also don't have a good remote location. Have almost rest it a few times, but ultimately just too many unknowns for me. Again, if I knew a lot about guns I'd feel differently.

I see what you mean. I don't think we need to be a gun masters though. Guns are very simple mechanically actually. But that still doesn't ease my lingering fears either. Like you said it's the what ifs and the unknowns that paralyze me with inaction. Maybe, today will be the day.

 

[NeedToGoNow12]

I don't know how to even set it up- like if I have butt on floor and have it in my mouth and hold with my teeth is that good? I'm worried about flinch so matter how many times i practice dry firing. Etc. I have the gun and I'd love to do it but yeah.

 

[SomewhereNew]

I have a 12 gauge but SI always takes over no matter how miserable and bleak my future is. Idk maybe one day I'll act out of impulse and just do it

Is the identification an absolute requirement? In the USA at least, I've heard from others talk as thought it isn't a guaranteed requirement and is more voluntary, but that is a really important factor. Couldn't do that to family.

 

[daemos]

Not guaranteed, but the odds of succeeding are much much higher than a regular single shot weapon. The pellets spread thus maximizing the chances of absolutely ruining your brain to the point of no return.
