it takes at around 15 seconds for you to pass out without oxygen, anymore and you will be brain dead.

Not really. Either way, in the movies they struggle for a few seconds, then just two seconds after they stop struggling they're magically dead. And if you're being choked out, you can always prevent them from blocking blood flow and last much longer before passing out. You're talking to a guy who took 1-2 minutes at least to start blacking out from wrestling.

I don't want to sound like an asshole or know-it-all but when you're choking, you're blocking the corotid arteries on the neck which essencially cuts off all blood to the brain. It only takes a couple of seconds to knock someone out if the choke is applied properly.

Yes, but they all act like they're killed shortly after losing consciousness. Not to mention, I've been in those situations, where somebody was trying to choke me out, and I almost fell unconscious, but even that took about a minute due to struggling.

It takes about thirty seconds normally, even then they don't die yet. That's what I was making fun of. Main thing is to make sure you can hold your breath and exhale as rarely as possible.

That's what I was saying. Suffocation can take up to a couple minutes but your brain can't go more than a few seconds without oxygenized blood flowing to it. I happend once to me in a judo tournament.

Only takes 10-15 seconds for death. I would assume assassin's would know how to apply a choke correctly so they would do it in that time span.

Links to a credible source and I'll believe you. Wikipedia doesn't count.

Unconsciousness is very different from death. Just means they can't fight any more. You can remain alive without brain damage for even fifteen minutes while being hanged if it doesn't break your neck.

I had not considered that good sir, although in most movies and in real life, if you pass out... you gon get raped.

In most movies they simply let go after a few seconds and walk off, pretending they're dead. If somebody doesn't know that in real life, then they'll simply think you're dead. If they know it's bullshit, they'll break your neck, which is exactly what I've been saying this entire time.

or at least have the common sense to know it takes more than 5 seconds to suffocate

Yeah, it's so stupid to me.

"I'm an expert assassin! I've trained for twelve years for these missions, I've killed four hundred targets, and I can suffocate somebody in twelve seconds flat.

A whole TWELVE seconds?

xD Everybody knows that if you're good at it, you can make somebody die faster than they should from suffocation!

sorry its a brony joke. one of rainbow dashes lines "i can clear the sky in 10 seconds flat"

Prove. It.

10. Seconds. Flat. I'd never leave funnyjunk hangin!

It's been a long time since I saw that episode, and I'm not nearly surrounded by bronies enough to know it's a joke among bronies.

yeah its pretty obscure compared to 20% cooler :/

Not to mention, I like Fluttershy much more than Dash.

me too :3

Funnyjunk: Where you can go from strangling people to ponies in one comment thread. Not that I'm complaining

Oh god that made me laugh so hard. xD
