F. Dumoulin & Company, Belgium, c. 1894-1930. This gun was made for the American market, so it would have been earlier than 1914 since WW1 stopped the import of firearms from Europe and after the war there were plenty of domestic manufacturers.

It depends on the part you mean. If you get a hole in the thoracic cavity, then you can't breathe. If you get sliced in the neck, you'll never stop bleeding. If you get stabbed in the thigh, then you'll bleed too much blood out. If you get an injury to the brain you could lose brain cells that might never come back. This is bad because you won't have the knowledge that you need.

What part of the brain is overactive in people with PTSD?
While the activation aspects of PTSD (rage, anger, irritability, somatic re-activations) have alot to do with a hyperarousal of the sympathetic nervous system that runs through the right side of the brain, PTSD from a brainwave side of things has more to do with disharmony and imbalance between the left and right hemispheres, and front and back. That is, non-PTSD folks have an integration of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems where one is not dominant over the other.
