The point being that 4 .38 slugs of ANY type passing through the brain, not just the "head", would have snuffed out that future basketball champion's crime-ridden life.

You've never seen anyone whose face ends below their eyes, but I've never seen anyone whose neck ends at the top of their head.
Yes, in addition to caliber and bullet type, shot placement is also of key importance, obviously. I've seen my dad and grandfather drop many large steer and hogs dead in their tracks with a close-range shot from a .22 long.

Shot placement can be related to how many rounds are in the gun. If this lady had been shooting some sort of semi-auto with a 15 round clip, she would have had 9 more opportunities to turn this intruder into a good nigger.

Yeah, the ballistic chart shows the difference pretty clearly.
