The force would be roughly proportional to how I slam my dick into your mother.

Meats wouldn't make good punching bags if that where the case.

martial artist here. not possible to my knowledge. of course maybe some chinese guy in the mountains knows some crazy technique to do.

It's easier to rip/tear skin than it is to punch through it.
Get some spiked knuckles and you may find it easy to break skin with a punch.
If applied to a small area, it doesn't take a whole lot of force to split skin and the begin tearing it from there.
This is the basic idea behind knives.

No, it is not possible. It takes a fair amount of effort even to stab a moderately sharp knife into someone. Your hand has thousands (millions?) of times the surface area, requiring commensurately more force, in addition to the fact that you have to go deeper in.

Is it possible to punch somebody so hard that they become a door, and then you realise that's where all doors come from and you turn into a contract killer working for a door company and if you punch someone REALLY hard they become like a venetian door or something?

Cuts often occur during boxing matches.

A hard fist contacts a hard face (thin skin stretched over firm bone). Sometimes, the punch lands with a twisting motion (a lot of coaches teach this technique to create cuts). The skin tears, and the opponent starts bleeding.

On the other hand, a hard fist hitting a soft abdomen (even one with impressive 6 pack abs is softer than bone) will be absorbed into the flesh and body tissue.

I have seen many people die from internal bleeding secondary to abdominal trauma. The evisceration of the abdominal contents is extremely rare. I've seen one or two car wrecks where this happened, but most of the time, when someone gets hit hard in the abdomen (hard enough to tear the descending vena cava or rupture the spleen/liver/etc) the skin remains pretty much intact.

Based upon my boxing and medical experience, I would have to venture a guess that a very,very powerful punch coupled with some sort of sharp-pointy-razor-glove would be necessary for OP to attain his goals of one day holding aloft the spleen of his defeated foe (because I know full well that's why you asked this question)

well human skin tears at 98 lds of force with a hook so that give you so kind of idea of how much force you would need

lbs right?
just how much surface area is the tip of a hook anyways

>>2238348

yeah lbs sorry, not much surface area
