Yeah, but you also have to have a plan. Human beings are both incredibly tough and fragile at the same time, as long as the brain is getting blood a hospital can save you.

This is why if you stab a CEO you need to go for the neck and know where the arteries are. Heart is okay if you’ve got a real knife and know what you’re doing but it’s more effort than it’s worth otherwise, and the one thing that won’t work is stabbing them in the stomach ten times.

Guy wounds were death in the Before Times before antibiotics, now it’s just unpleasant.

Suddenly realizing the anti-education efforts of the Republican bunch, the Koch’s and all their ilk, is actually motivated by self-preservation. It’s harder to know how to kill your overlords if you never learn about anatomy to know what parts are fragile. For example, you’d never know that cutting the femoral arteries can be every bit as fatal as the carotids, or that when targeting the heart/lungs a knife blade in a vertical orientation would just get caught in the ribs, or that puncturing both lungs would also be extremely bad.

A gut wound that reaches the abdominal aorta very well could be death, but how many people even know where it is?

  It’s a wee bit to the stabbers left yeah?
  
  Runs right through the liver iirc (or is the vena cava different?)

However, the carotid artery is both easy to access and difficult to repair in time. Not that I’m in any way condoning these terrible attacks.

  Yeah, the one issue is that human reflexes just naturally make people good at protecting their head and neck but if you want close up results and don’t want to point, click, and hope it’s your best bet.

    Most people forget under the armpits. That was always a better option historically over the neck. Usually necks are protected by gorgets, but the armpit has to be flexible.
    
    Can’t cover the armpits with solid armor like chests and necks.

    I was just about to say that the subclavian artery is nicely exposed when they lift up their hands to protect their neck. Also the femoral artery is a solid choice if you have a long enough blade. But that might take a bit of digging.

Definitely don’t lock yourself in with them and repeatedly stab their lungs in a flurry of blows on both sides. That could cause their lungs to collapse and / or fill with blood, which might result in a death by either filling your chest with air but still gasp for air, or drowning in their own blood. And nobody wants that.
