Line 567:
** It is very possible, if very rare, to cause someone to go into fibrillation (heart beating so rapidly and without any rhythm, such that it doesn't actually pump any blood) simply from hitting them in the right place, with the right force, at the right point of a heartbeat. It doesn't even have to be a hard hit. It is unfortunately common in athletes. One minute they're active, then they get what seems to be a hard bump to the chest, and then they're down and out.
*** Of course, CPR and defibrillation, as well as quick medical treatment has a chance of bringing them back. But for all intents and purposes, until their heart beat goes back to normal, they are dead.
** Punching someone hard enough in the throat can jam their Adam's Apple into their windpipe, causing them to choke to death unless they're treated immediately. It's very rare, but a real enough danger that most combat sports have rules against throat/neck strikes.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]].
** If you want to get technical, a shot to the heart, head, or vital organ will kill. Over time in any case.
