Unorthodox Method of Self-Castration

[ZimZamer (imported)]

Has anyone just thought of shooting them off with a gun? That seems really simple and straightforward albeit painful(although it can't be too much more painful than other methods). And you can make it look like an accident so they won't throw you in the loony bin. And since it would be so quick you can call the ambulance beforehand to ensure that you won't be incapacitated by pain and shock. Unfortunately I can't try it because I can't get guns because I already went to the loony bin for something and got diagnosed with schizophrenia, but I'm still curious if it's still feasible. There might be something I'm overlooking so please don't flame me if there is, I'm new here.

There are basically two types of shots, no matter the many makes and models of guns: single shot (1 bullet released from the barrel at a time), and multiple element discharge (shotgun blast). Shotguns are colloquially called "Scatter guns" sometimes. This is because the multiple "BB's" in a single shell spread out when they leave the barrel. The problem with blowing your balls off with a shotgun is the scattering/spreading effect. You'll end up taking a good chunk of your lower body out with them. If you've ever seen an animal or a wall blasted at close range with a shotgun, you'll understand.

As for single shot (rifle, pistol), you release 1 projectile at a time. While you can control the direction in which the bullet goes, without taking out a lot of collateral area (or body!), the angle would have to be just right to take out both testicles in one shot.

Inadvisable in any form.

Unless you're using something like the Taurus Judge I don't know how you'd even be able to aim and fire a shotgun, even a sawed off shotgun, at your testicles and if you do use something like the Taurus Judge, it would probably be at point blank range so the shot wouldn't spread out( and the Taurus Judge is only a .410 calibre so it would be spread out even less).

As for using a centre-fire gun, I imagine having the testicles banded together and aiming right at the centre and using a large calibre hollow-point bullet such as .45acp, although I'm not sure if the hollow point would even expand hitting such a soft and small target. I've also heard higher velocity bullets produce hydrostatic shock that damages nearby tissue.

Hey @ZimZamer,

Actually, yes, I've heard of this method. It works great as a method of castration. None of the testicles nor scrotum remains. In addition to the loss of the unwanted testicles, the man gets a new title as well, "The Dearly Departed". He also get's a new home six feet under ground with a pretty marble marker up above for people to leave flowers on.

Looks like someone has never heard of Paul Harrell and his tests on scientifically accurate meat targets if he actually believes a bullet would be that devastating.

Hey @ZimZamer - I admit that the physics of a bullet enter and exiting the human body isn't my specialty.

But even basic Boy Scout first aid tells me that massive blood loss is not a good thing. The femoral artery is only a few inches from the testicles. So, having aim that is even a tiny bit off could be catastrophic. Plus, hand guns, at least the ones I've shot, are designed to shoot away from the person holding the gun

So, just to be safe I want to clearly and without equivocation fall on the side of this debate that says never point the business end of a loaded gun at yourself and pull the trigger.

If hair dryers come with a warning that say, "Do Not Use While Sleeping", guns should come with a warning that says, "Do Not Use While Pointed at Yourself".

Hi ZimZamer,

I believe you were overlooking the concept of blood loss. Even assuming you were able to fire a suitable gun at just the right angle, your now cleanly castrated scrotal area would be bleeding quite morbidly. You would still need a surgeon to properly tie things off before you bled to death. Add on the difficulty of obtaining a gun, and the risk and difficulty in firing at said perfect angle, and you may be looking at the most impractical and dangerous method of castration ever devised. I quite like your avatar, by the way.

Thanks, I really like this avatar too. And I should have elaborated more on my plan, the goal wouldn't be to completely castrate myself then and there, but to damage them enough to the point that the doctor would have to remove them.

Aren't all gunshot wounds automatically reported to the police? "Young man, can you describe the inhuman monster who shot you?"

Oh geeze... Not this bullshit again.
