"In one house, Dice takes a spear square in the b*ll*cks. Getting him out costs Little Red his ear and a machate dart—a cane arrow with a particularly wicked type of warhead—up under his jaw. We have to cut the head off with iron pliers and pull the thing out point-first, a whisker from his carotid." (The Afghan Campaign by Steven Pressfield)
Hi, maybe I should separate my question in two threads, but I can't figure out the whole process: how was the spear warhead pulling out point-first (its point first?) and what for, if no one can survive with a damaged carotid artery?
