I think I have already stated that these dogs have very thick skulls, which is why a handgun might not penetrate if it was shot at the top of the head. If the dog was shot in the heart or throat it would certainly die instantly, but when it is attacking someone it is probably not easy to get a clean shot.
If the dog came at me most likely in a fight it would bite my forearm. Certainly it would be able to make my arm bleed and it would hurt - but its not like it has the strength to actually bite my arm of. While I forced it down with MY 300 lbs of weight against its 120 lbs, I would have a free hand to strike it in the eye or throat or ribs, to choke it, to hoist it up and drive it repeatedly into the floor or a wall, etc etc
A dog can only hurt you with its teeth, a human has multiple striking options, and is twice as big and twice as strong and twice as heavy in some cases (certainly in my case).
Like I said, I wouldnt fight a pitbull for fun, and I am sure it would hurt, but unless it can get at my throat or face, or I just lie there and let it eat me... it is not going to be able to strike a killing blow. If I tried to club him on the top of the head I might not do much but hurt and anger him... but I have the human intelligence to strike right into the throat, or throttle it, or gouge his eyes, or drive his face into the floor and break his teeth, or whatever else - which is another difference between a dog and a man.
If you look up stories of fatal dog attacks, you see the victims are nearly always children.
Dogs dont have the courage to attack adult humans unless it is a cowardly bite in the arse or back, or they are wild and desperate. They dont have the strength to kill adults in any normal circumstances
