Idk about where you live, but it's a god damn right here in Americuh.
Ammo's not always cheap, though. A free shot to the head is a pretty good deal if you were going to pay for it anyway.
A free shot to the head? In this economy?
I'll take two.

Man, I loved Third Rock the first time I watched it. Now the canned laughs kind of ruin it for me, and I miss enjoying it like I did.

Hair. The hair on my head, near the ends, just to be exact. And from the side so the bullet does not then hit me.
Haha lol just aim a few inches larboard for me
I haven't run across that word since I read Lewis Carroll's poetry
He was thoughtful and grave—but the orders he gave
Were enough to bewilder a crew.
When he cried "Steer to starboard, but keep her head larboard!"
What on earth was the helmsman to do?
I'm by the ocean. I'm thinking nautical
I think there's a good reason they started saying port instead
Hair on your feet is better because then you'll get less hearing damage.
What collection are these animations from? I have seen this around, but have never seen a name set to them.
From a TV show called Archer. I'd recommend giving it a watch
Archer
I don't know. Isn't the average speed of a bullet (340 m/s) under the sound barrier (343 m/s)? If that's the case, wouldn't it only matter how far the gun is away from you?
There are a LOT of different kinds of ammunition out there. I suppose if they get to choose what kind, they could opt for subsonic ammo (the kind that people usually use with suppressors). Otherwise, if it's randomly selected or something, then there's a pretty good chance that it'll break the sound barrier.
The further the muzzle is from my ears, the lower the noise level I'll experience. The projectile speed doesn't matter.
I hope you didn't experience that hard noise level too much yourself
I was looking for this answer before I wrote the same thing. If a part of my body has to be shot, why wouldn't I be trying to rules lawyer my way out of serious injury? Take one long hair, tape it on something that can be safely shot through at effectively point blank range, feel nothing, success!
It does kill you quickest, doesn't it? Head or heart.
If you're shot in the heart, you get to think about what's going to happen for seconds until your blood pressure drops and you lose consciousness.

Straight up, right in the apricot
I'm feeling missing that even trying to commit suicide, you gotta do an overkill like a shotgun or maybe a directional explosive charge. Leaves a grewsome though. X)
Police snipers need the capability to hit the junction of the brain and brain stem at extended distances. Hitting and destroying this point at the back of the human head with a single bullet causes the person to instantly and completely collapse without reflex. Snipers call this spot "the apricot."
Yup. Boom. Done. No pain. To sleep, perchance to dream
Theres the rub. For in that sleep of death what dreams may come..
I'm feeling somewhere in the arm.
100% somewhere in the arm (like assuming this isn't in some test lab where "the ear" can be consistently guaranteed).
- Foot would likely be serious, lifelong pain when walking.
- Leg is extremely dangerous for bleeding out. Like maybe if I could get immediate medical attention it wouldn't be terrible, but there are still better options. (Plus avoids an accidental shot to the knee.) (Edit: Forgot to mention chronic pain in the calf when walking.)
- Abdomen is obviously not a first choice.
- Head and neck are obviously going to be the worst, and I even mean that in the sense that a shot to the head isn't inherently some insta-kill. Lots of ways to hit the brain that completely debilitate you for life.
- Hands seem like a great way to fuck up the nerves and have dexterity trouble for the rest of your life.
So arm it is, preferably right because it's further from the heart.
If it hits the brachial artery in your arm, you're not going to have a good time either.
Fair point. I'd still prefer the right arm*, but I think you could reasonably debate distal or proximal. Proximal has less chance of hitting the brachial artery and surrounding major nerves, but if you do hit them, you're in bigger trouble than in the distal – where the median nerve and the brachial artery have split, making it easier to hit something but for that individual hit to be less severe.
* Another comment mentioned your glutes, which, yeah, fair if you could hit it from the side-on (and be fairly accurate, otherwise ouch, that tailbone).
I'm not seeing the butt cheek on here :(
The head
i think i would choose the calf. its similar to the arm in terms of potential bleeding out, but it doesnt effect your ability to work lots of jobs or use your hands. the really big arteries in your legs that risk bleeding out are for supplying your thigh muscles so they dont go all the way down to your calves. best case its a flesh wound and you recover fully. worst case you lose your foot and lower leg. theres always the risk of losing anything that gets shot, whether from damage or infection, and id rather lose part of a leg than anything else.
I feel like It would be easier to exercise with both feet intact and with a prosthetic arm. I do don't want to loose (or hinder) my ability to walk, to go

I'm guessing very close to head, but right about the top of an ear.
Obviously i'd choose my tail.
