Hello everyone. First off, I would like to say that I am still planning out the details of my method as I have a particular set of circumstances that need to play out before I ctb. Perhaps I will go into detail in another post but for now, onto the meat of this thread.

I have done some research into methods I think I have a solid choice. CTB via firearm is the most powerful option available! According to allhopelost, death via shotgun to the head is the quickest and least painful method (well, as painless as far as ctb goes). All it takes is a few pounds of pressure and its lights out! I also happen to live a state that loves guns and are easily obtainable by a trip to the gun store, so its the best case scenario really. I am aware of other methods like CO or SN, but for my situation they seem really easy to mess up and I want something highly effective with no turning back. Surely a bullet to the brain point blank will do the trick. Now, I need some help with the details. I really dont know that much about guns so the following questions may seem basic. I apologize in advance
-Any difference in shotgun models? I havent decided where exactly to get one either. How should I pick it up and store it? Do they just give you a case to carry it when you purchase the firearm?
-Ammo type suggestions? I need something that will cause the MOST amount of damage possible. Something that will render my brain into mush and kill my conciousness instantly. Ive heard that a 12 gauge slug does the trick but that also a birdshot isnt bad either, so im kind of confused.
-Where to aim? Right side of the temple seems to be the most popular choice but I'm not sure how quickly that kills you. I know you need to hit the brain stem for the quickest death but how hard would it be the aim there? Whats the worst place to aim?
-How do i practice shooting the gun? Id like to get used to aiming and shooting with it before i ctb. I know that some people flinch before firing and miss what they were aiming for. What does "flinching" mean exactly? How does one avoid doing it?

Sorry if these are dumb questions. I want to get the method right unless I mess it up at the last minute and become a vegatable. Thank you!!

Do you have a range bear you? They may have classes or private lessons. I'd start there.

I heard pointing in the mouth is the best way to hit the brain stem instantly

Not sure how useful this is, but personally I've only heard bad things about birdshot and wouldnt be going for it if there's anything better

This sounds like a good idea and Ill take it into consideration

Noted. Ill def do some more research then to be certain I do it.

In your opinion, what would be the best ammo to use? If you have any ideas let me know. In the meantime, ill stay away from birdshot

Honestly, I'm not sure. I don't live in a country where ctb by gun is feasible, and I only really know that birdshot isn't a very good idea. Someone else could probably help a lot better
