KF Ideas for future (weapon) DLC

You cannot actually "kill" a human with a finger. The other guy has to let you apply pressure to the right place for a considerable amount of time and then the lack of blood will kill that person, not the finger, but only if that person is missing one of the two arteries that are present in this area in humans, and one finger cannot aply pressure at two different points simultaneously.

Pretty sure if you are inventive you would find a way. Imagination!
(Now didn't this thread take a turn for the dark side!)

Using ONLY one finger?

Nope. It is anatomically impossible to kill a normal human (or ZED) in this way.

Maybe if you apply a lot of pressure to the trachea, or hit the trachea really hard with your finger, but the swelling will cause asphyxia and the brain will die because of lack of of oxygen, so your finger only causes a domino effect, it does not actually "kill", and it will take time for the person to die.
If this is a Gorefast, it will cut you and your whole team into ribbons before dying.

It isnt.
With enough power you can thrust your thumb to inside human brain from weak points of skull.

If we are speaking about a 6-month old, then yes, but still hard to do.
The cranium bones grow as we grow up and the holes close. It is actually very hard to open the cranium of an adult human and expose the brain, even with chisel and hammer and an oscillating saw.
Actually I have a video about it...

These is also the case when person is injured, most commonly in war, and a part or the cranium is gone forever. Also there is the case of bone cancer that might result in loss of some cranium bones, but these people are not "normal" humans anymore. You cannot apply the same standards to them. It is like comparing a dissabled person to a sprint runner.

You cannot kill a "normal" human with a single finger, unless you are something lie a Cyberdyne T-800 model 101.
