It got its name as a play on words. It ain’t you asshole and it ain’t your balls. If you say ‘it ain’t’ fast it sounds like taint.

The piece of skin between a ball sack and an asshole or the skin between a vagina and an asshole.

I’ve seen images of men with their testicles in a tourniquet and they did not look well at all. They weren’t even bleeding that much. It was less of a medical emergency and more of a hobby it seems.

If the options are “Phillips head fucks shit up” and something not being fucked up by Phillips, assume the thing is about to get fucked.

Jfc I hope you’re not serious lol. These are self-defense rounds, meant to break apart inside the attacker or intruder, so you’re not shooting through walls, potentially killing people on the other side.
Part of a defense training class includes, “know your target and what’s behind it” for a reason

Nope, actually the opposite. They’re supposed to overpenetrate. But they look like they’re supposed to expand and fragment, right?
Check it out: lehighdefense.com/…/xtreme-penetrator.html
They do really cool stuff inside ballistics gel because of the surface pressure on that flattened tip

That big artery in the inner thigh. … Yeah you can die pretty fast if it gets severed.

A friend of mine got heart surgery through his inner thigh. That artery is huge, so it provides easy access to the heart without needing to go near any organs. It still creeps me out to think about it, on the other hand it is pretty awesome that’s technologically feasible and provides a much safer procedure with a shorter recovery period.

So much to unpack. Love the first gen area Playstation sweatshirt. This looks like an actual photo. What is that in the background? A toilet? Like in the jails? I need context.

If you look closer her finger isn’t actually on the trigger.

If you aim too low, you’ll hit a leg, which can be tourniquetted.

So I know this is a shitpost, but a pelvic shot is taught by some militaries as part of an alternative failure drill (two shots to the chest, followed by one to the head if they continue to be a threat). Its a larger target than a headshot requires, and is rarely protected by armor. Plus of you miss the shot is more likely to hit the ground instead of continuing flight well beyond whoever you were shooting at.
So shitpost or not, its not the worst place to shoot.

taught by some militaries
Also some police agencies.
More importantly, there are ‘junctional tourniquets’ now for armpits and groins. They’re obviously not as effective as a tourniquet around the limbs, but they’re around.

recoil also tends to pull high (if you’re not anticipating), so a groin shot if pulled would just end up centre mass instead, where a head shot would be a whiff
