That was what I meant. Still, if you hit the heart or aorta, even the strongest or most meth'd up criminal won't be a threat. There is instant, gushing bleeding which means that the muscles—and more importantly the brain—lose oxygen and nutrients very quickly, not to mention the pain. It's difficult for me to imagine someone taking two slugs in the heart and still needing to have a bullet in the brain.
Still, while I've got a reasonable grasp of the medical situation, I've never actually shot someone or seen a shot to the heart so I don't know with 100% certainty.

Well that's different, I'll concede that right now. Does it even count as a Mozambique drill if they've got a ballistic vest? It'd be more like a MozambOUCH. *high five*
BTW, Dund, back me up on the Mozambique thing!
