In Pulp Fiction, they take a syringe of adrenalin & strike it through the breastplate with immediate effect. My main question, assuming this has some basis in fact, is that the needle, solidly held by bone and presumably puncturing a ventricle, would be moved against by the heart causing a tear which would surely kill you. Even if it doesn’t, if muscle is so tough the heart moves around the needle, I’m still concerned about the needle hole. That’s before we get to the whole adrenalin thing. Positioning. Length of needle. Technique & needle breakages. Immediate effect. So yeah, go for it, put my mind at rest 🙂

I’m guessing it’s the same reason why you don’t bleed out and die when you get a blood test: the hole is too small.
