If you just break a jaw bone it is not a fatal shot. Are you going to drop over dead because you got shot in the jaw and had your jaw broke? If they are hit in the jaw and the bullet hits up in the brain or sends bone fragments up there it will kill them. If you dropped over dead from a broken jaw I would of been dead a couple of times.
I dissagree, you dot need to send fragmets into the brain for it to be fatal. Theres a good deal of arteries all around the base of the head, neck and jaw. Bullets hit with authority, its not just breaking the jaw, its doing a whole lot more damage than just a broken jaw bone. The impact alone can cause internal brain hemoraging, just like hitting your head on concrete, they get knocked out, never to return brain function,pulmonary function ceases,they die.
Please dont think I am advocating shooting them there. CAUSE I am not.
But a large caliber anywhere in the head region and its lghts out.
