    I think they can tell it was self inflicted gunshot but yeah, the missing gun will be a mystery.

          From my understanding, that is something that is done, but it isn’t as reliable as media makes it seem. It’s a tool, but it’s very flawed. It can be used with other evidence to identify a weapon, but alone it’s mostly useless.

            Setup a mechanism to double tap you from 10 feet away and the thing floats off and then have that detonate after floating off for awhile.

      Ghouls. Missing items at crime or accident scenes happens. People come across the scene and help themselves.

      What if you don’t hold it normally? Use a type of ammo from a weapon normally too long for suicide and connect something to the trigger so you can reach it, or wrap the balloons string around it.

      If you watch enough true crime you can probably work out how to make your suicide look like a murder, or at the very least leave them confused for a while.
