Oak Cliff grandmother pistol-whipped during attempted armed robberyMartha Morato, 62, was released from the hospital Monday afternoon. Her face was swollen and bruised where the butt of a gun struck her twice. Her ear was stitched back together.DALLAS - An Oak Cliff grandmother is home recovering after she was pistol-whipped by two men trying to rob her as she got out of her car early Monday.Police say they have one person of interest and possibly another suspect in at least three early morning robberies — possibly more. Martha Morato, 62, was released from the hospital Monday afternoon. Her face was swollen and bruised where the butt of a gun struck her twice.
Her ear was stitched back together.The retired grandmother was up early, about 5:30 a.m. Monday, delivering breakfast tacos to nearby relatives in the area of Michigan and Illinois avenues when a black double cab pickup truck got her attention.She went on her way thinking the truck was gone, but when she got to her next stop and got out of the car, the truck blocked her in.
“One gets out with a rifle and he was begging for money and he was saying dinero, dinero, dinero,” Morato said. “The scariest thing that scares me so much is I thought that they were going to kill me. Because they had the gun pointed at me.
And when I told him I didn’t have money, he hit me twice on my face. And he moved in front of my car and I thought he was going to shoot me. I really thought I was going to die.”She says she thinks she was targeted because she is a woman who was driving alone and she’s worried whoever did this to her might shoot and kill their next victim.
Lieutenant Mainwaring pistol-whips a pirate using an unloaded pistol, in 's illustration for his 1897 story, Captain ScarfieldPistol-whipping or buffaloing is the act of using a as a, wielding it as if it were a club. Such a practice dates to the time of, which were brandished in such fashion in close-quarters combat once the weapon's single projectile had been expended.The term 'buffaloing' is documented as being used in the of the 19th century. The modern terms 'pistol-whipping' and 'to pistol-whip' were reported as 'new words' of in 1955, with cited usages dating to the 1940s. Contents.Method The practice of using the handgun itself as a blunt-force weapon began with the appearance of in the 15th century. Weapons that were tedious to reload were used to strike opponents directly in close-quarters combat after their projectile had been expended. It was entirely up to circumstance whether the user had time or chose to reverse the gun in their hand and strike a blow with its handle or merely swung the heavy weapon as a club or baton holding it normally.There are arguments as to the efficacy of either approach. Author notes that clubbing an opponent with the butt of a gun held by its barrel, as seen in some, is problematic.
First, the danger of an unintentional discharge could fatally wound the 'clubber'. Second, many handguns, specifically early revolvers of the black-powder era, were relatively fragile around their cylinders relative to solid single-shot weapons. Finally, rotating a gun so that it can be held by its barrel takes extra time, potentially crucial in a conflict.To avoid the risk of damage or potential delay, pistol-whipping may be done with the gun held in an ordinary manner, hitting the target with an overhand strike from either the barrel or the flank of the gun above the trigger. It was a fairly common way to incapacitate a man in Western frontier days (assisted by the heavy weight of the handguns of the era), known as 'buffaloing', with the verb form being 'to buffalo'. This form of pistol-whipping with an 1870s-style revolver was tested on the television show. The testers showed that using the long barrel of a weapon such as the in a whipping motion produced enough force to fracture a skull and could potentially kill a man with a single blow.Forensics Pistol whipping may leave unusual lacerations on the body of the injured due to various protruding details of the pistol. When blows are struck using the butt of the weapon rather than its barrel or flank, semicircular or triangular lacerations on the skin may be produced.

The magazine well at the bottom of a semi-automatic pistol and its surrounding base produce rectangular lacerations on the skin. These lacerations can vary in depth and severity, but 'whipped' fractures are common.See also.References., Random House Unabridged Dictionary.
