Really am I missing something?

Rhino, if you have a substantial hit to any part of the skull without effect then hitting it again won't do you any good.

1. Gun is too small, takes to long to get another.

2. Skull too thick.

3. The brain isn't home...

You're apparently unaware of how projectiles fair against hard, curved surfaces. Or what happens when pistol bullets hit teeth. Etc.

These days they make guns that actually hold more than one bullet. If the first one does not achieve the desired effect you can use another one.

Rule number one: Don't get into gun fights with movie stars and let the director and editor figure out the outcome.

Mean while, here on earth, humans don't routinely take a bullet of any caliber to the head and say, "thank you sir, may I have another?"

But if by chance they do, you have picked the wrong SOB to get into a gunfight with and I will leave it at that...

I know general anatomy for first aid not for shooting

Two to the center of mass. If that does not stop the threat then one, two, three or whatever it takes to get a head shot on a still moving target.

I get where you are coming from but a head shot could prove quite difficult under stress.
Another really good point to aim if center mass doesn't stop the threat, is the pelvis.

Thank you.

I have never had the displeasure to be in a gun fight. I try to think things through in advance.

Stress plus movement will make it very difficult to make a COM shot let alone a head shot.

Lower torso and legs are seldom armored so that could be an option if the threat is not behind cover.

So, are you people saying it isn't like on Bonanza, where one shot to the gut means the bad guy falls dead instantly? Damn, I got some rethinkin' to do!

And in a gunfight the best thing is to shoot the gun out of your opponent's hand.

Hey, the Lone Ranger can do that without even using the sights.

Sights? What's that?
