Are you asking about methods for suicide or the proper ammunition to use on Symantec employees?

At close range, it's hard to beat the old Colt Model 1911A1 - surplus ammo is cheap, one good headshot, or a couple hits near center of mass, even with a jacketed round, should be fatal, and if you run out of ammo, you can club them to death with the empty weapon.
