Help What's wrong with shooting myself?

[non_sense]

I'm new to this forum and so far I haven't seen anyone talking about shooting themselves. Is it not reliable? It's always been my plan for if I CTB, as poisoning and hanging seems too slow and painful. Should I reconsider this plan?

Firearms is one of the most reliable methods if you aim correctly. Its just you won't see it talked about much as most people can't access firearms at all or don't like the violent, non-peaceful nature of it. But there are still some discussions of it and a megathread for it:

Hello all, I'm thrw_a_way1221221, or you can call me TAW122 if that's easier for you. In this thread, here is all the information in regards to ctb'ing via a gun/firearm. Everyone who is suggesting or choosing to ctb via 'N' and 'A' and 'H', that's cool. However, this thread is about GUNS (Not...

The big problem is how to get access to the firearm, not shooting yourself

I'm from the southern US so it's way easier than getting anything i could use to affectively poison myself

Where do the firearms people go?

Looking at suicide statistics, we know the most common and most successful method is firearms. (In the US at least) On this site we see people discussing hanging and poisoning as methods, followed by other less common methods. Why is this site different? Are there firearms people on this...

I was wondering the same myself. Seems like they just don't post as much.

If you get the angle wrong, you can end up with just a horrible mutilated face or become a vegetable. Some french guy even survived a shotgun and now needs a face transplant. It is very reliable if you get the angle right though. In a lot of countries firearms are hard to get for civilians.

probably since it could take under 1 min from decision to destruction of self, and the person might not have thought about posting in between

Yep, they might be more doing less thinking kind of folk.

It's not as reliable as you might think if you don't aim perfectly, or use a shotgun.

God, I wish I had a firearm.

Yes, practice ahead of time a lot to get a feel for the device.

This method as a lot of things are all about the right kind of practice every day.

Knowing where to aim. And pactiing in mirror, camera . And practicing dry firing without ammunition

Its like ok go do a high platform dive into water from 30 meters up . If u go up there without research and practicing and dive u probably will injure or kill urself

Olympic divers always hit it right not cause they were born knowing how no it's hours of the correct kind of practice every day

We have a pretty big international crowd here, so the majority of people do not have access to guns like those of us in the US. Even in the US, some states have very strict gun laws, including not selling to people with prior psych holds.
