    Apart from the head and heart where could you shoot someone to take them down immediately?

    The wall behind him. Or just above the head.

    Shoot them in the feels

    That's not specific enough, would need to know the weapon and calibre of ammunition.

    I'm going to say a 1915 German, Big Bertha cannon.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 760 ✭✭✭Desolation Of Smug


    .22. Goes in, bounces around, doesn't exit and there's feck all rifling left for "comparison". Win, win. In the head, obvs. The foot, not so much.

    A cannonball to the knee.

    OK then a .22. Probably means nothing to most people.

    Femoral artery?

    Up against a wall in the middle of a field
    one shot
    Bang! Bang!

    Do you not mean 'bang' if one shot? What's the second bang for? You? :P

    The clue is in the OP - the knee!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,628 ✭✭✭Señor Fancy Pants


    For an average 5.56mm or 7.62mm round, a fairly instant kill can come from a head, heart or spinal cord shot.

    Anything bigger like a .5 round...mostly a bad outcome :).

    Need to be a precise head shot

    It could land on your head, that be pretty precise ;)

    What about the other knee?

    Base of the spine, knee cap.

    depends on what part of the head, you can survive being shot in the head. Seen pictures of people who shot themselves in the face with a shotgun and survived. Most of the face was gone but they still survived. Lesson: birdshot to the chin is not a good idea.

    Waitasec... why are we all trying to help this guy and not calling the guards?

    It's a single shot chief. Nothing makes a man want to lie down like a disintegrated knee.

    The fan knee? :pac:

    I'd chuck a shot to the balls into your mix Sir..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,816 ✭✭✭Baggy Trousers

    I object! There is absolutely no fcuking honour in that shot!
    You wouldn't be proud of that shot.
    A knee shot on the other hand, and watching the purp crumple to the ground, that's a high-5 moment!

    No one a bit curious as to why this chap is looking for advice on best place to hit someone with a bullet?

    Nah, if he wants to top someone with one round but doesn't want to target the head or the heart.

    I'd say he's going to miss :).

    Better off putting the round into yer mans dinner and hope he chokes on it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 306 ✭✭SweetChaos


    In the goolies

    If there is a suspicious shooting in the news tomorrow im looking at you OP

    I'd be more into "drop and trot" tbh. I'd leave the glamour shots to other, better men.

    Goldslinger?, or baby Guinness either can bring you to your knees.

    I wonder why more people don't aim for the bollocks area, you rarely hear of criminals for eg getting their bollocks blown off. You'd imagine the threat of such an action would be a good way of insuring debts are paid etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,590 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    According to a bloke on Moncrief one day people only drop to the ground when shot because they've seen it on TV.Most people are perfectly capable of walking about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭cruais

    In a lift and then press G.

    Surely the shock more than anything is what initially puts the person down.

    This is a hugely interesting watch and will answer all your questions.
    Don't let the title put you off, there's only one or two nasty pics for a few seconds.

    If you're shot with a centerfire handgun round, you've quite a high chance of survival if you're close to medical aid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


    How about a shot to the liver, that would be pretty fatal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    Your really not getting this...... :P
    Just a play on a common enough trope or meme :pac:

    I'd reckon one to the internal or external carotid (if a good enough shot) would do it. Blood loss would be fast, unconsciousness would soon follow then most likely death.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    A shot to the bum-bum.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,618 ✭✭✭The Diabolical Monocle


    Anywhere along the center line.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,465 ✭✭✭✭darkpagandeath


    Use a 50 cal sniper even an arm shot will do so much trauma that you would die from bleeding out.
