Yeah, but as someone already said, it's hard to kill someone by just
whaling on them with your fists.  Except of course, martial artist who know
where and how to hit.  They, of course, can do choose to do lethal damage.

Well, start bashing people with hard objects, you get into stuff like
broken bones and fractures, which do take time to heal.  Hit someone over
