Where should the forward fluid shockwave strike ideally land?

The ideal location for a forward fluid shockwave to strike is on the common peroneal or large muscle masses. This is due to several factors concerning effectiveness and safety during an engagement.

Targeting large muscle groups ensures a high degree of incapacitation while minimizing the risk of serious injury or fatal outcomes, which can occur when aiming for more vulnerable areas such as the head or neck. By using the common peroneal, the shockwave can efficiently disrupt the muscle's function without causing undue harm that could result from targeting vital organs or areas that are more sensitive.

This approach aligns with the principles of using non-lethal force in law enforcement practices, where the objective is to immobilize or deter without resorting to excessive violence. Such tactical considerations are crucial for ensuring a balance between maintaining control of a situation and preserving life while managing potential threats.
