But I am pretty confident in saying everyone has their pain threshold. Now, my pain threshold could possibly be less than yours and Thai Bri's [shrug]. That's something I can't readily know just from an online forum.
I think though, just as there are different levels of force and intent thrown in a punch, the same applies to biting. I was interpreting Vunak's video clip to suggest that in a life or death situation one bite with the force and intent to *disfigure*. I have a difficult time imagining someone with a chunk bitten out of their cheek becoming rapidly filled with greater morale and "fight" in them. Now, for the mentally ill... I'm not so sure about, they might just go berserk.

What Vunak is describing is to attack the way a pitbull or some other crazed animal would attack, latch on, tear into the bite, come back again if somehow broken loose from…It’s an ugly, crazed, continuous, tearing back and forth attack, not just a bite. I wholeheartedly agree.
Compare it to this attack. The dog clamps down, tears into the bite, is beaten off, comes back in.
By the way, here’s a point were looking into. Similar situation, yet on the 2nd attack the dog backs off when confronted once more by the person that seriously injured it in causing it to back off in the first place.
I bring this point up because, on two separate occasions, when attacked by dogs, my counter attack (luck on my part) was aparrently sufficient enough to cause them to back up! In one incident, the dog was about to come at me once more, growled, then took off! As if it were feeling, "Mother f**r, you got lucky this time...," or something. The dog in this 2nd clip is like that, on it's return attack it's aif it feels, "Nope, don't wanna mess with you again!," as it backs up!
In my own other encounter here, the dog hesitated on it's 2nd attempt - long enough for it’s owner to call it off. I'd say it might go the same when torn into by a human being - a vicious long counterattack causing the other individual to let go, etc.
I guess what we might want to be discussing though is how to handle, prepare, train for “biting” encounters, etc – on both the receiving and the dishing out end.
Just a thought...
