such as a heart shot, damage to the aorta (main artery coming from the heart, branches off in the pelvis into the right and left femoral arteries), the vena cava (main vein bringing blood back to the heart), etc.
Disrupt blood flow to the brain, and the CNS shuts down. It is not as rapid however as a brain or high spine wound would be.

A pelvis wound can be a good incapacitator, especially if the BG has body armor.
