Any stories about 9mm bouncing off of a skull?

If you would start with just a few sips, it would move you up several rankings in your shooting class.
That caffeine can give a Prodigious Boost on a sleepy morning.
And it's about the only stimulant I can handle.

Think the aim would improve if caffeine had me bouncing off the walls? :laugh:

I drink decaf all the time. Got tired of getting a headache if I didn't get my dose of caffeine. If I drink it now, I am like the Energizer bunny x 10. That's why I definitely don't drink it before a match.

That doesn't count. I am talking about being shot in the skull, not the mouth. COMPLETELY different conversation. :laugh:

I drink a standard pot every day. I have gone without it for a year or two when I thought it was the cause of my migraine headaches. Once I found that it wasn't the cause, I jumped right back in. A fella has to have at least one legal vice!!!!

Usually when you "get the facts" about a situation like this it is more "sliding" along the skull. Skulls vary widely as to thickness and hardness. #2) Bullets vary in shape. A bullet striking at an angle... Have you "cut up a chicken?" Flesh tends to be wet, soft and slippery. Serpico was an undercover cop. A hit was put out on him (the rat). The hitter put a .22 LR barrel against his skull, no doubt trying to penetrate the valley for the artery that runs thru the temple, penetrate brain, kill, etc. The LR bullet instead took a turn, ran along the skull, landed in his ear leaving him deaf in that ear. Better than dead? Another question. NAZIS very carefully tried to put the pistol bullet thru the soft tissue around the ear, into the brain during executions. Designed a sub .22 round and pistol... SO when you can shoot into the mouth or neck and all the "vitals" there, shooting at the head or face is not a very good choice. Etc. Happy trails.
