I know this is vidya related but since it's a martial arts question I figure I'd ask it here.
Anyways I'm loving sniper elite 4 but I especially love the slow motion melee kills with x-ray. is it possible to completely shatter someone's jaw with a palm strike, if you hit them hard enough? Or at least break it? Like, is there any spot on the face you can hit hard enough to kill outright with one punch?
yes.

No. You break your hand before the jaw is broken. That is why there were so many broken hands in the early UFC. You can't do it without handwraps and gloves to protect the small fragile bones in the hand.

I love 4chan
also thanks for that. I guess I should expect the bones in the chin are alot stronger than the bones of your hand. I know in the pride days alot of fighters used to use palm strikes and open hands instead of punching, probably for that reason.
Aw well, at least it looks badass. Looks even cooler in slow mo with the mortal kombat x-ray.

It's a palm strike, faggot. I think you're thinking about a punch.

You can if you do conditioning, like Muay Thai fighters and their shins.

you can definitely fuck someone's jaw up with a palm strike. you're probably not going to shatter it MK style but it'll work. I don't think the palm strike (op pic) to the nose actually works. I mean you'll probably cause a lot of bleeding but on pure physical strength I don't think they'll die. now a bat on the other hand would probably do the trick.

Definitely the same thing, right
