    How is that even possible?

    Because your skull is round, armoured and mobile.

    I've had many head shots bounce off skulls, .22s, .25s, .32, .380 and a .38. Close range and especially muzzle contact rounds roll about on the head and often penetrate the skin but not the skull.

    Probably the most famous "head shot" was Matix during the 1986 Miami FBI shoot out. Took a round to the head, went to sleep and then woke back up.

    A hypothetical question for the future:
    Do we a) give the man a snip snip, enforced Darwin Award-- for fear of the dumb or
    b) clone him for the army. how do you stop a soldier that keeps going after multiple head shots?

    IMO its a difficult ethical conundrum....

    How often do you go around shooting people in the head? :):

    I bet his GF came to the hospital and told him "See I told you that you can't do a damn thing right!"

    In the spirit of Uncle Arnie and Wild Bill Bauer......this is the actual front license plate of my truck. Had it made a few years ago at the county fair. I have actually had people ask me if its true or a joke. Since I'm a paraplygic it may make it seem real.
