P&S ModCast 464 - Tactical Anatomy Summit

you were talking about people being resistant to information um cali shane's wife was uh i think it was It was one of our first ones, and it was probably Nashville at Royal Range.

And I was talking about the importance of not just visualizing, like if you have to go for a brainstem shot, not just visualizing that path on the head.

But the problem with the head is you have structures that you could also deflect this, particularly handgun bullets.

Reiterating that, of course, with a YouTube short, you know, it's just like 30 seconds or whatever.

And I had talked about how like into the teeth of the jaws that can catch even a big bullet like a 45 and stop it or deflect it.

And there's a couple of lessons learned in class that I bring up.

One of them I talk about is Jared Reston.

Sherman had a case where a guy caught 230 grain hydro shock into his molars and it didn't penetrate into the brain.

It just kind of like stuck in the sinuses and stopped.

And I talk about that.

Well, in that little bit in the class, The knuckleheads are in the comments.

That guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

You know, 45s don't stop, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And you can talk about real world incidents where these things have happened and people will still tell you that didn't happen.

So that's part of what I bring to the class is examination of after action of incidents that are in no way abnormal.

You know, if anybody's read their Jim Cirillo, they know there's a lot of cases where bullets straight to head, glance off the skull, cheekbones, jaw, teeth, things like that.

Super common.

But your comment about people being resistant to information just like kind of triggered that memory for me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, I remember back in about 2000, seeing a picture that was being passed around among agencies from Utah Department of Corrections.

And it's basically a mugshot of a larger male inmate.

And he has these lines on his head.

Well, SWAT dude unloads an MP5 on him and the rounds hit his forehead and just go around his skull along along the scalp.

Yeah, you're talking about these hard bones.
