Since when can you kill a termiinator that easily? A couple of
shotgun blasts to the head and he's out of commission?

The thing added to the picture is pulling out the chip during the 90
second reset. We saw terminators go down from damage in the movies,
but they
came back if not completely destroyed because of the chip
redirecting the remaining power and resources. That little bit with
the scalping and the screwdriver changed the whole picture. *


it's a lampshaded retcon. the only reason for that chip is for
ratings, because any sensible design, would incorporate the damage
control protocols into the operating system itself, especially for a
combat droid that's expected to take damage on a regular basis.

And where do you think the OS would be?

The Fleshy Part of the Thigh.

Ordinarily shooters are trained to shoot at the center of mass, so I
wouldn't put it there. Plus, if a terminator has internal organs, they
need the space. Next common target is the head, which is a small part
easily damaged. Put it in the thigh, and you have larger diameter than
the head, and more length so if you shape it right you can armor it.
