I see this shit in movies all the time and it always just looks insane to me. Even just basic physics should mean that the equal and opposite reaction of one skull banging into the other would knock each person out equally. How does this ever work? The character always walks away like some badass as if they wouldn’t have some major concussion and are invincible. The only use of this I ever appreciated was the parody in an Adam Sandler movie where the guy did it and did actually pass out from it.
In: Physics
Bone of your forehead very hard and thick.
Bone of their nose bridge/zygomatic arch/maxilla comparatively soft.
It’ll still hurt you, and still might concuss you (the technically term would be a coup-contra-coup injury), but if you break their face, they’ll either be in so much pain they may be unable to fight, or, they literally might not be able to fight from lose of vision/inability to breath properly.
