Suspects With Body Armor Thread

[HCM]

I dont remember who but during a class the instructor asked an ER Nurse why she kept taking head shots. She replied because she had seen too many people show up in the ER shot and still fighting. Im sure the illustrious nembers here will recall the “who” of the exact incident.

That was JLW.

The issue is the head is a small target which moves a lot more than the body on live opponents.
