Title: Marine Unfazed by Sniper Shot to Head Post by: Trippy on April 14, 2006, 05:56:40 AM Marine Unfazed by Sniper Shot to Head (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060414/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_head_shot;_ylt=A9FJqa91mj9EICIBrxZvaA8F;_ylu=X3oDMTA5aHJvMDdwBHNlYwN5bmNhdA--)
WTF!?!? Head shot and he's not dead? US haxxors! Title: Re: Marine Unfazed by Sniper Shot to Head Post by: Roac on April 14, 2006, 06:33:09 AM I told you the DEA guy was a pussy. He limped.

Title: Re: Marine Unfazed by Sniper Shot to Head Post by: kaid on April 14, 2006, 09:40:05 AM I am guessing the brain bucket probably helped slow the round enough so the old mk1 cranium could deflect the rest. Had he not been wearing a helmet I am guessing he would be planted in the ground now.

Had he not been wearing a helmet I am guessing he would be planted in the ground now. kaid The human skull is pretty darn tough. I worked in nursing homes way back when, and one of our residents was a kid who'd tried to kill himself by shooting himself in the head. Fortunately for him, his skull largely deflected the point-blank shot and he didn't die. Unfortunately for him, he still managed to get a brain infection as a result that left him pretty much a vegetable :P Title: Re: Marine Unfazed by Sniper Shot to Head Post by: Fabricated on April 14, 2006, 10:32:07 AM The skull can take a rather impressive amount of punishment before opening up or fracturing.
That squishy stuff on the inside though? Not quite so much. Title: Re: Marine Unfazed by Sniper Shot to Head Post by: Strazos on April 14, 2006, 11:09:08 PM Well, the article said it was a "fragment" that did the damage....
Also, I'm just guessing here, but that "sniper's" rifle probably was not in mint condition. Title: Re: Marine Unfazed by Sniper Shot to Head Post by: Yegolev on April 17, 2006, 01:42:49 PM Whenever I see the word "overwatch", I hear the next-turn sound effects from Fallout.

Funny, I hear the radio-static-beeping-ping noise that the faceless soldiers in HL2 make when you kill themTitle: Re: Marine Unfazed by Sniper Shot to Head Post by: Trippy on April 18, 2006, 08:25:52 PM Whenever I see the word "overwatch", I hear the next-turn sound effects from Fallout.
