What kind of skeletal/visual/brain damage are we looking at from the Terminator's backhand strike?


Kyle had already had a rough go. What if the Terminator had done the same thing to say, a healthy Tech Noir patron?

It probably would've killed them. It's amazing Kyle was able to light that pipe bomb and blow it up. I gotta say, what a painful way to go. First he gets shot, then he gets punched with the terminator's metal hand which is like getting hit in the head with an aluminum bat. Horrible.

He was in a bad way when he lit the pipe bomb.. did the fall kill him or the explosion?

reply

Definitely stronger than a swung bat. Whole skull probably fractured. Internal hemorrhaging for sure. Probably the equivalent of a big fall.
