I would think a bullet to the back of the head is best- you don’t see it coming and you probably don’t even feel it.
When you’re beheaded your head can remain conscious - which I think would be horrifying.
A tad messy don’t ya think ;D? lol
I’m with you. Punch out the brain stem and it’s over before you would even register the process as starting...
For 15 seconds your head is still alive.
Back during the French revolution a doctor studied just that, and found that the severed head was conscious for several seconds after beheading.
That is a terrifying thought.
Sounds improbable. When has a head shown evidence of remaining conscious? A few seconds of brain activity before death might cause eye movement and blinks and jaw movement appearing to be an attempt to speak, but I doubt that the severed head is aware of it.
“which I think would be horrifying.”
Not for very long
Hopefully, it is ! The bastards deserve to realize what creeps they ‘were’.
The antidote to the horror is to have a good one-liner ready.
