Look at your teeth.

Lol doc is definitely right about that one!

So I was right, stabbings. And yes, I brought up that you can't see anything with your reduced field of view meaning you're never going to see yourself get stabbed.

Huzzah.

indeed

It depends, but more than likely yes!

many stabbed victims last words: "He punched me in the kidney, the coward!"

People who are not trained in managing Adrenalin response are particularly vulnerable to that.

As I'm hoping people notice, when you look ahead, you have a blindspot around a foot or two in front of your direct front.

[kidney here is an example. It could just as well be, "he jabbed my in my balls!"]

The femoral artery is a popular target. Knife fighters know about it.

Very easy to hit too.

the victim rarely sees the knife.

People don't normally protect their legs.

tunnel vision + danger close

you lose your peripheral vision at a HR around 150 (adrenaline induced)

It takes about 1-2 minutes to bleed out from a good femoral artery hit if you don't stop the bloodflow.

@Doc they do, but the Brachial artery is much better!

@{CAP}Radeon harder to hit as you have to expect some kind of wailing defense.

so the pro knifers prefer the femoral.

Of course, not hard to solicit in a bar fight to be honest!

more humiliating as well.

knivers like humiliating.

Sadly many people will not notice how bad the blood flow is until it's too late.

Because most people wear pants.

their last words are usually either "Im cold." Or, "help me up, I cant breathe!"

Lol if you sever the brachial artery they will bleed out before the guy on the phone can tell the 911 operator what happened.

@Maw I’m a tall guy, a majority of the time I have to lean down to attack the femoral. I prefer the aortic until I can reach the brachial.

Suffice to say, if you're ever hit in the thigh/leg and you notice almost immediately that your pant leg is dark with blood and you're leaving spatters of blood dripping from your pants every time you take a step, you need to immediately find anything to use as a tourniquet. You have no time to waste.

You don't have the time to wait for an ambulance.

Unless the artery has contracted already. You might be screwed!

I had a guy once who actually looked like zoidberg.

Doc.

Too much.

as I was sticking him ought....roughly....with 1-0, just to hold it in place on transport to the plastic surgons, he asked me: "will this leave a scar?

@Maw dang...sorry man. 😦

thanks for reminding me.

Lol @Doc ever seen what a 120 howitzer shell does to the face skin?

@{CAP}Radeon, you just advanced to level 2!

@{CAP}Radeon yes
