Realistic house-rules

Hello everyone, nice to see all the replies.

I'm just going to explain why I chose to use these alternate/homebrewed rules.

First off, the lungs and heart alone take up alot of the upper part of the torso, these two organs alone is more then 1/6 of the torso, and getting shot in the upper part of torso is pretty much a death sentence if you are using any respectable caliber. However even a rifle bullet doesn't do alot of tissue damage, and most of the energi of the bullet is going to leave the body with the rest of the bullet itself, especially with high-powered rifle bullets. This means that if f you get shot somewhere non-vital, even with one of the most powerful handheld infantry weapons (excluding .50 cal) you will probably be fine. Even a lung shot is survivable, even though extremely dangerous. Of course, if you don't get medical attention you'll probably die from infection, but that's another matter entirely.

Hope that wasn't to much of a wall of text.
