i'm planning to ctb using a gun. i understand that i need to hit the brain stem to have the highest chance of success, but wondering what gun would be most effective, seeing as i've never handled one before? also, while I do understanding hitting the brain stem is most effective, i wonder how this would affect my face after death (i'd rather have an open casket) overall, any tips of ctb'ing with a gun? thanks

okay i did a bit more research. i found a dealer in my area with this gun. i don't know a lot about guns, but it says it's a peanut butter taurus gun with a g3 switch, which, with research, i believe means it's fully automatic meaning more bullets, which would hopefully mean more deadly. i'd put it behind my ear, since i don't think it'll fit in my mouth, and aim for the brain stem / spinal cord and hopefully that'll do the job while not destroying my face. i'm also concerned about the consequences if it fails, regarding physical and cognitive issues. just kind of concerned it won't be enough to ctb. would that all be accurate?

if it fails, regarding physical and cognitive issues
it would be so brutal. almost complete loss of motor function due to corticospinal tract damage. injuries above c4 require permanent ventilators, cuz the nerve is out. sensory loss below the neck, chronic pain, muscle spasms etc. loss of bp control, bladder n bowel function. basically a vegetable

Most effective gun is a 12 gauge shotgun with a 18.5 inch barrel fired intraorally. Next would be a handgun intraorally, in sizes .45, 10mm, .40 caliber, 9mm, or .357 magnum. Those same guns can be fired just behind our above the ear.

Taurus has a model g3 might have just meant that. But otherwise yeah probably modified

A fee problems with this. First you want a single, precise shot to ensure success and minimize pain. You do not want to spray and pray with your own head. Second, as the first shot hits your brain stem, your body immediately collapses, which means ana you have no control over where the next shots go. It is never good to have a gun in tour hand that you are not fully controlling.
i'm also concerned about the consequences if it fails, regarding physical and cognitive issues. just kind of concerned it won't be enough to ctb.
All it takes is a single, well-aimed bullet. People fuck it up by not knowing how to handle a gun, not aiming correctly, or flinching when they pull the trigger. Educate yourself and practice dry firing and learn proper gun safety.

If you want an open casket then use a handgun. Also there's multiple variables that cause immediate death with a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head not just hitting the brain stem.

Does it have a short barrel? 18.5" or 470mm or shorter?

Best method for you to succeed would be to build up a stand of some kind that would not allow the gun to move stood to side or up and down. Use one hand to pull/push the trigger and the other on the barrel to stabilize it.

If you have any questions feel free to message me.
