Not really.

Air compressors have a lot of uses, many of which do not involve firing a bolt into an animal's head. A cattle gun is powered by an air compressor. Alternatively, you might use an air compressor to fill your bike tires, but you're not going to use that kind of air compressor to kill an animal.

In your example here, I feel like the air compressor is to the handle, as the cattle gun or bike pump is to the knife or sword.

This has been an SAT Moment from your host, Slinkton B Redfoot.

BTW, I love that book and I think the Coen Bros did a fantastic job bringing it to the screen. Dialog is often word for word, which stands to reason as you're going to need some serious writing chops or irreverence if you're going to dice up Cormac McCarthy's words.

Not everyone agrees, but to me, there's an underlying study of fate vs causality woven beautifully into the story. And the Ed Tom Bell's monolog about his dream blows me away. So much about that book I love.

This movie is equal parts macabre and funny for me. Sugar telling the gas station owner to call it with that quarter with his life hanging in the balance, and then telling him don't lose your lucky quarter with that expression as a perfect example

Another one that bothered me was the scene in Saving Private Ryan when that German soldier pushes his bayonette into Adam Goldberg's character

that will forever be hard for me to watch. not because of the dude having a knife slowly sapping his life out of him, but because of the cowardice of his buddy, who could have easily helped him kill that german soldier but instead hid out of fear. everytime i watch it, it makes my blood boil. i know he "redeems" himself later in the action, but that fucker should've hung for leaving his buddy to die like that.
 
Blood Eagle in TV show Vikings.

The blood eagle was a method of ritually executing a chosen member as detailed in late skaldic poetry. According to the two instances mentioned in the Sagas, the victims (in both cases members of royal families) were placed in a prone position, their ribs severed from the spine with a sharp tool, and their lungs pulled through the opening to create a pair of "wings". There has been continuing debate about whether the rite was a literary invention, a mistranslation of the original texts, or an authentic historical practice

Terminal Man Series - Killed the Mexican cartel guy by cutting him open, tacking his intestines to a post, and making him walk.
 
I know that this is for movie deaths but I was thinking about "The Americans" this weekend and I started thinking about TV deaths. There were so many on that show in particular that were either incredibly gruesome or incredibly affecting (and sometimes both).

You don't see it in this video but they put that girl Annelise's body in a fucking suitcase, and they showed them doing it. Ugh.



Brucie's death on "Mr. Inbetween" was a very difficult one even though it was what he wanted and probably the best thing.
