Need opinions on a method

[Zenova_]

Cattle captive bolt guns. The things they use to 'humanely' kill large animals. They require no license to own in the USA and are usually under $500 and can be ordered online. They kill by launching a metal rod into the skull at point-blank. Do you think this would be a good method? I'm desperate.

Sounds brutal, what if you somehow survive with a metal rod inside your head? :(

It is designed to instantly kill cattle, who have thicker skulls and larger heads. I doubt I am surviving. I think it would be similar to a point-blank headshot.

Idk, but there was a post about this here yesterday.

A pistola de dardo cativo, em regra, não "mata" o animal; ela é usada para atordoá-lo (deixá-lo inconsciente) imediatamente. A morte ocorre posteriormente, quando se realiza a sangria, que é a etapa seguinte do abate humanitário.

There are different types of bolts. "Penetrative" bolts are what I intend to use, and they breach the skull as their piston destroys the contents around the point of contact. Considering that there is only around .7 inches between the epidermis and the brain at the forehead, it should go through the skull quite easily. There are bolts which are designed to only stun livestock, but I will be using the lethal ones.
