The area you are aiming at is very small from the eyebrows to the bottom of the nose.much of this area is multiple layers of bone such as the sinus cavities and the nasal bones. Even though they are thin compared to the frontal skull area, they can slow or deflect a bullet depending on the angle of impact. It will have an adverse effect on their day but it might not stop the threat. As for hitting the brain stem and stopping ll activity,maybe or maybe not. We had a patient come into the ER where I worked as a RN. He had been shot at very close range with a 32 cal pistol ball ammo to the lower posterior skull. It was close enough for powder burn to the hair. The bullet went through the brain stem into the upper brain . The patient went to surgery and two weeks later walked out of the hospital and went back to work with no deficits. It is just a matter of luck and if you can put the odds more in your favor you can have the better luck.
