Hello, everybody, Weko997 here. In today's post I will be doing a deep dive into the world of firearm suicide. Please use this post educational reasons for knowledge, instead of using it to learn how to actually kill yourself.
Introduction to Firearm Suicide
I would like to begin off by saying firearm suicide takes up the greatest number of deaths via firearm, in 2021, 54% of firearm related deaths were suicide. 90% of firearm suicides are successful. 10% of these people live though, are most likely lose basic motor abilities, experience severe chronic pain, and a bunch of other complications such as meningitis, aphasia, hemianopsia, and hemiplegia. 50% of survivors sever a nerve and have facial nerve damage,
Meningitis: An infection of meninges, protective tissue of the brain that causes stiff neck, headache and fever.
Aphasia: a person may be unable to comprehend or unable to formulate language because of damage to specific brain regions
Hemianopsia: Loss in vision, or blurriness
Hemiplegia: total or nearly complete paralysis on one side of the body
Firearm Suicide Terms
Multiple-gunshot suicide: This occurs when an individual commits suicide by inflicting multiple gunshots on itself before becoming incapacitated. These are extremely rare when it comes to firearm suicide,
Murder Suicide - The act of intentionally taking others' lives with a firearm before taking your own, with a firearm. A keen example of this would be the Columbine shooting.
Body after suicide
As evident throughout the many of suicides on this site, a plethora of things can happen when someone takes their own life with a firearm.
The first thing that can happen, is spasming out. Most of the time, when shooting yourself with a small caliber gun, you tend to tense up or move in a spastic or unusual way. The cause of this could be a multitude of things. If a area of your brain is damaged, you could go into different postures/positions. Another reason one may act this way is due to their brain going into shock that its shutting down, and in a responce acting in a frantic way. A good example would be 1444
Clenching onto the couch after the initial blast > 
Frantic Response to the Blast: 
The second thing that can happen is an immediate stop and complete limp as soon as the trigger is pulled, this usually happens with bigger guns like shotguns or rifles. Examples would be Ronnie's Suicide.
Body going completely limp after initial blast > 
Different Angels
Through the Mouth 
< Using Marsey as an example (Thank you Marsey). Suicide through the mouth is the act of shooting yourself with the muzzle in your mouth. This method of suicide is uncommon, but a good example would be Budd Dwyer's Live Tv Suicide. As stated up above, people can react in frantic ways, but every through the mouth suicide I've seen had the user completely limp after the blast. Thie bullet of the gun enters through the mouth and out through the top of the head, and if shot right could cause leakage in the back of the head, causing a perfuse amount of blood to leak out through the nose. If you see a video of a man committing suicide with the muzzle pointed straight near the throat instead of the brain, that video is fake. Portrayed by Movies, the gun is pointed straight, this is inaccurate as the bullet can't access the brain. Straight firing has been used for self harm.
Example of through the mouth suicide causing blood leakage through the nose (Budd Dwyer): 
The Temple: Shooting yourself in the temple is the most common way for suicide due to it having what seems the easiest way to enter through the brain. Most people who shoot themselves in the temple due so with a handgun, though rifles and shotguns have been used. A good example of a non-handgun temple suicide shooting would be 1444. Most people who shoot themselves in the temple have a frantic response to the gunshot. The gunshot enters through where the muzzle is placed, then exits perpendicular from where the gun is placed.
What a Temple Shot Looks Like: 
Through the forehead: Through the forehead shooting is uncommon, but the people who have done so share the same traits with people who shoot through the temple, they want an easy acesss to the brain. The best example for a through the forehead suicide would be Shuaby's Suicide.
What a Through the Forehead Looks Like: 
Under the Chin Suicide: Under the chin is where the muzzle of the gun is placed under the chin and the user shoots. This is mostly done with a shotgun or a rifle, and not a handgun. Out of every under the chin suicide I have seen, none of them used a handgun. If done with a shotgun or a rifle, the user starts to drip blood everywhere, and the face looks disfigured and almost like a demogorgan. A example of this would be when this animator killed himself. If you listen, you can hear blood drip on the floor, which also happens in Ronnie Mcnutt's suicide.
Fun Fact! The person in the Ogrish Vol.1 Collection was a under the chin shotgun survivor > 
Uncommon Suicide Angels: Before I conclude this post, I will go into certain angels that envolve firearms, that not many people use, and I will list them off now.
Top Of the Head
The Chest
Multiple Gun Shot Suicide: Lower Body
Ear, Nose, or Throat.

Shooting yourself through the mouth is effective since you will destroy the brain stem without which life is impossible.

I'd argue the temple is most effective since the bullet only needs to travel <4mm of bone and bisects both cerebral hemispheres

Haven't people survived temple shots? Idk but it seems like a mouth shot would be more effective

Suicide by shooting a shotgun or rifle to the jaw is the worst method using a firearm, I feel very sad for people who survive this with various consequences

A friend ate a bullet from a .303 calibre rifle - I don't know every last detail but I was told this was after consuming a whole bottle of pills and two litres of vodka. He still had the dexterity to put the firearm between his toes and the barrel in his mouth. That was a man who wanted to go. (Edit: This should in no way be interpreted as a suggestion of a method.)
But even then, he did it deep into a mountain and left signs behind him warning people not to go any further. It was well off the walking track but people do venture off and even in his despair, he didn't want just anyone to veer off and get the shock of their lives.
His sister told me that although she was brought in to formally ID him, his head was covered down to his chin. I don't know how they would've been able to establish a credible ID from that, but in any case, she was spared the view.
I guess I mention all this because whenever some armchair detectives try to claim Kurt Cobain couldn't possibly have pulled the trigger while off his chops, I explain that not only is it entirely possible, I know who did it. Or maybe there's not much point and it's just been a while since I talked about it.

It REALLY sucks to spend an hour or two writing something, and then have the cat step on they keyboard, and it all disappears.
It is then REALLY depressing to try to write the whole thing again.

ion rlly got much medical knowledge but, from the post, rather than completely blowing up his brain more or less which makes u go limp, it damaged only a section (the muscle tensing/shock)
Since it went thru his chin it prob hit around his premotor cortex which google says causes that but this is all a guess, ion know wtf im talkin bout
basically, smaller bullet = brain nerves go ham

This was a very mediocre post overall.
You used well documented and popular suicide videos but gave a poor analysis of each one.
The English wasn't too bad but it's very high schoolish (ESL).
This suicide post was made for the sake of making it and brought nothing new to what we already know.
You could have made it interesting but you chose the safest suicide videos to use, missed various others that show chest suicides, bladed suicides, hesitations and the psychological reason for live-streaming.
Normally I'd say A for effort but this was really bad.

Didn't Larry Phillips Jr do this when his gun jammed and his finger was shot off during the Hollywood Shootout?

This is a very good post
its got me wondering what parts of the brain are needed and what isn't and if you can survive being cleanly decapitated then whats it like to have your brain slowly shut down from a small caliber. Pairing this with the anonymity of a headshot by the YouTuber dark science is just crazy and has me full of questions

I think it's (like the poster said) the brain shutting down/spazzing out. You know how babies just move around and grab stuff without any thought or effort? I think it's like that.
