Best type of shotgun to use? Angles?

[kalashnikova]

Hello everyone. I am getting surprisingly closer and closer to my chosen date.. I am just trying to figure out which shotgun to use, I heard it's best to use a Mossberg 500 but I don't know much about calibers & barrels. I know I should use a slug, so that's what I will be using. I also worry about missing the spot (brain stem) and I'm trying to figure out how to know which angle is right, I'm not that good with angles and I don't want to fuck this up. I know it's relatively easy to shoot yourself through the roof of the mouth but I still want to make sure I don't end up disfigured! Can anyone please give me any tips? I've gone shooting before and will go shooting again soon to steady my balance & practice. It's so easy to blow your brains out but so incredibly hard… I will also go to another state for this, and I have been making preparations.

I always imagined a 30 to 45 degree angle would be best, 0 in this case meaning straight up towards roof of mouth. Larger angle would favor brain stem, lower angle would favor mass of brain. Taking pictures of yourself for reference helps, with a pole or something for simulation and practice/muscle memory. Then overlay an MRI of someone on your head to get a general idea. Yes it will be slightly imprecise, but luckily it's a shotgun (yes, ik it's a slug, but still, massive round), so a few degrees off probably won't make too much of a difference.

Have 0 knowledge on guns. But based on what I've seen, shotgun pointed anywhere on your head will not just do the job, it will destroy your head.

You're right on that, the last thing you want to do is end up a vegetable. Guns aren't legal hear but from what I understand you wanna use a 12 gage and aim for the amygdala. Slightly upward from the neck. I hope you don't do it though. At least fire a gun first before you aim it at yourself. Otherwise you don't know if it even fires
