It’s just going to hurt like a removed. The string needs to go completely straight for the full force of the arrow which is impossible with how far it’s already in his mouth.
Also skulls are pretty strong.
Idk. Depending on the strength of the bow and the type of arrowhead, I’m pretty sure it’d work (at least to enter the skull cavity). Let’s assume, probably on the low end, 35lbs. That’s 30lbs in small fraction of an in/cm, assuming an arrowhead meant to kill something, not a target shooting arrowhead. I’m pretty sure it’ll go through bone, depending on where it hits, what angle, and the dozens of other factors involved.
Also, most people who just have bows laying around only have relatively dull target arrowheads, you’d want a proper hunting broadhead or similar, else you’ll just wind up with brain damage and medical bills
Uh oh, you said a naughty word your instance didn’t like. Because apparently “removed” is a bridge too far for lemmy.ml
