something sharp and heavy, about C-3 to C-5

I truly enjoy reading comments from people who actually know combat vernacular. Hope you don't take offense when I ask you what C-3 to C-5 means, Is that Seal talk or just basic marine combat training talk?

And I especially loved your final touch "to ensure I broke his neck and spinal cord, ensuring he was a quadriplegic

You definitely know what you're doing dude............

The C3, C4, and C5 vertebrae form the midsection of the cervical spine, near the base of the neck. Injuries to the nerves and tissue relating to the cervical region are the most severe of all spinal cord injuries because the higher up in the spine an injury occurs, the more damage that is caused to the central nervous system. Depending on the how severe the damage to the spinal cord is, the injury may be noted as complete or incomplete.

C3 Vertebrae

The C2 - C3 junction of the spinal column is important, as this is where flexion and extension occur (flexion is the movement of the chin toward the chest and extension is the backward movement of the head). Patients with spinal cord damage at the C3 level will have limited mobility in both their flexion and extension.

Symptoms of a C3 Level Injury

Symptoms of a spinal cord injury corresponding to C3 vertebrae include:

Limited range of motion
Loss of diaphragm function
Requirement of a ventilator for breathing
Paralysis in arms, hands, torso, and legs
Trouble controlling bladder and bowel function

C4 Vertebrae

The portion of the spinal cord which relates to the C4 vertebra directly affects the diaphragm. Patients with C4 spinal cord injuries typically need 24 hour-a-day support to breathe and maintain oxygen levels.
Symptoms of a C4 Level Injury

Symptoms of a spinal cord injury corresponding to C4 vertebrae include:

Loss of diaphragm function
Potential requirement of a ventilator for breathing
Limited range of motion
Paralysis in arms, hands, torso, and legs
Trouble controlling bladder and bowel function

C5 Vertebrae

Damage to the spinal cord at the C5 vertebra affects the vocal cords, biceps, and deltoid muscles in the upper arms. Unlike some of the higher cervical injuries, a patient with a C5 spinal cord injury will likely be able to breath and speak on their own.
Symptoms of a C5 Level Injury

Symptoms of a spinal cord injury corresponding to C5 vertebrae include:

Ability to speak and breathe on their own, but breathing will be weak
Paralysis in torso, legs, wrists, and hands
Paralysis may be experienced on one or both sides
Patients may be able to raise their arms and/or bend their elbows
Patients will need assistance with daily living, but may have some independent function

The boxer’s injury in Million Dollar Baby; classic C-3 / C-5 injury.

BOTTOM LINE: If you’re going to hurt someone in lieu of killing them, for a crime where theor killing would be morally justified, ensure you hurt them to the extent they wake up every morning.... and go to bed every night.... wishing you had killed them, rather than just hurt them.

“”You definitely know what you’re doing dude.””

Regarding post #96, if this, “dude” knows what they’re doing, then why is this “dude” copying then posting information they’ve obtained from another site onto this one?
