When people talk about guns, they often talk about caliber and targeting. The same goes for knife but the stopping power is quite different.
A bullet can impact and create internal ballistic damage to stop a threat fast however, a knife relies on bleeding out or blinding or crippling.
Everyone wants to talk about stabbing or slicing the throat. Slicing the throat is rare in street knife attacks but getting stabbed is common. When a heart rate is 175bpm, which would be pretty fair to assume if someone is in an altercation, it would take 85 seconds to lose enough blood to incapacitate through exsanguination. It takes 112 seconds to die. So if they have a knife or a gun, those minutes can result in your life loss as well.
So a good defense is knowing how and where to place your targeting to actually stop an attack.
Eyes and forehead can cause loss of vision making it difficult for them to see you but in Close Quarters Combat, they can still luck out through feel and touch and sound.
Attacking the tendons and muscle groups in the arms can limit their ability to attack but what if you miss or don't penetrate deep enough.
Attacking sections of the legs can cut tendons and nerves and cause them to be unable to support their weight resulting with them being held on the ground. They still may be able to deploy a firearm and shoot.
So individually, the risks still exist but when you pair them all together...it dramatically decreases and ensures your likely survival.
Lastly, if they are dead...they cannot fight. A breaking of the neck can stop all functions of the body but are you willing to risk the ramifications and expenses to handle the oncoming civil lawsuit that will more likely be held.
So as you see, there are a lot of thoughts on just the simple approach to finding the right balance of attack and stopping power.
