I don’t know about VF; in my experiment, I was “targeting” the brain stem through the soft palate. Had a video camera off to the side to chaeck the angle. Would have “worked” if I had been serious...and using a real gun.
Let me guess...most gun suicides in your experience involve gun-to-the-temple, or under the chin (like that bank robber in CA).

The 2 that involved putting the gun in the mouth, both involved long guns. One was a 410 shotgun, the other was 22 long rifle. The rest were side to side shots. There was an attempted suicide with a 380, where the man put the pistol in his mouth, but the angle was to great and he destroyed his sinus cavity’s, took out his left eye and lodged in a frontal lobe.
