Often in movies and such when a person is struck in the heart they drop like a sack of potatoes. In real life if someone were to shoot you in the heart how long would you be able to function normally?

Ever seen people getting chocked out? You lose consciousness in seconds.

Tho I don’t recommend it, you can try it yourself if you’re a fairly skinny person. Feel out the 2 carotid arteries running up on either side of your neck with your thumb and index finger. Then let our your breath and press down. You’ll feel like you’re about to pass out within a few seconds.
