Actually, I believe you're off a bit. Try the teeth, mandible (chin) and
parts of the pelvis as being the most dense/hard.

But to answer why it's a deadly: the forehead area on the chart is more than
just the area between your eyebrows and hair. It is the forehead, temples
(which happen to be eggshell-thin), the top of the head and back to the
occipital. One shot there and you're through. Not to mention all of higher
level thinking is done in the forebrain (right behind the forehead).

And don't forget: this chart is lethal on purpose.
