It will release whatever it holds, and grab your arm instead!

Tap it or punch it? I mean there’s a difference in both movements and intensity.

I feel like in the moment, one would want to overdo it rather then underdo it. Particularly if the thing in its mouth is your other arm or leg.
Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I mean that would be my instinct but what if they have like a pressure point there that requires a specific amount of force that happened to be approximately the same as a light tap?

they work like those trash bin lids, push it until it clicks and it unlatches to swing open, then push it down again and it clicks closed

I went to an alligator themed tourist attraction in Florida years ago where a man would hover his hand inside an alligator’s mouth - he claimed that if you don’t touch their palate, the alligator’s bite reflex will not be triggered.
Now this man had about 4 fingers on both of his hands combined, so take from that what you will…

I reckon a .45 between the eyes would work as well.

That’s a great way to lose an arm…

If it bites your arm you just bonk it with your other arm and repeat the cycle until it’s tuckered out.
