The only problem is that not all head shots are fatal [in real life that
is]..there was this one guy on TV documentry about suicide [i think] that
tried to blow his own head off by sticking a shotgun under his
chin..Didn't work..he now has no jaw bone and is real hard to understand
when he talks..there have also been cases where [another suicide attempt]
a guy put a gun up to his temple and pulled the trigger..the bullet
traveled under his skin and exit on the other side of his head..And there
have even been cases where penetration was made into the brain but the
people didn't die..Documented cases go all the way back to the Civil War
[US Version 2.0] one soldier [I think he was a blue coat] was shot
through the head and survived..The man was completely normal..BUT..he
could become violent at little provocation..I even know of a friend of my
inlaws that had a similar injury except he also has some memory loss...So
it is my opinion that even headshots should get to be saved
against..Althought they should DEFFINATELY have some heavy plusses added
to the target number...
