even this is wrong, a penetrating weapon aimed for the heart is applied below the sternum at roughly the positionof the 3rd shirt button, and thrust upward at shallow angle topass behind the manubrium, and is then levered into a pommel upward position so as to lacerate the heart
First, that’s because you want to keep your weapon, which implies you don’t really want to kill the killee. I’m assuming a half inch drill, and I’m leaving it powered up and spinning.
Second, note that what you don’t do when trying to hit the heart is aim left.
Well, yes, the point of the solid bone plate right in front of your heart is to block stabbings. And it works!
If you had a weapon that wasn't bothered by the presence of the sternum, and you wanted to stab the heart, you'd go right through the sternum.
the risk is one of being unable to extract the weapon expediently.
there is an unacceptable risk of having to abandon it.
Unless you're also trying to send a message where leaving the weapon is the message
