If you aim too low, you'll hit a leg, which can be tourniquetted.

    So I know this is a shitpost, but a pelvic shot is taught by some militaries as part of an alternative failure drill (two shots to the chest, followed by one to the head if they continue to be a threat). Its a larger target than a headshot requires, and is rarely protected by armor. Plus, if you miss, the shot is more likely to hit the ground instead of continuing flight well beyond whoever you were shooting at.

    So shitpost or not, its not the worst place to shoot.

    taught by some militaries

    Also some police agencies.

    More importantly, there are 'junctional tourniquets' now for armpits and groins. They're obviously not as effective as a tourniquet around the limbs, but they're around.
