Behind the scenes[]
- In terms of weapons handling, center mass refers to the center of a persons chest or torso, where the mass of their body is the largest, making it the most likely place to score a hit. The center of mass is not only the largest target but also where important organs are, so it's generally seen as the priority target, lacking the difficulty and improbability of a shot to the head.
