MODERATORS
I'm a right to death advocate, even for this kind of situation. We should all have the right to decide the time and means of our death.
That being said, you're still early in the HRT process. You're essentially maybe a third of the way through puberty, depending on exactly what you call the end of puberty. And, of equal relevance, you may be experiencing a need for your treatment to be adjusted. Dosing needs can change through the process, leading to increased dysphoria and dysmorphia.
So, check with your providers to see if that's at play here, assuming that you want to continue on but don't see the eventual benefits coming soon enough. This could be a side effect, the self perception and ideation. Seems like it would be worth at least talking to whoever is monitoring the medical side of your transition.
Also, while I sure as fuck won't give any guidance on what to do or how to do it, your plan isn't a good one. Way too likely to end up making things worse for you. You have no familiarity with firearms, or you wouldn't be considering the method you present here.
