No, you wouldn't kill them, but you would horrifically scar them for life.
I'd rather go into my brother's gun store and get myself a real rifle
OT: To those of you actually spreading your TIM around with a finger or a bag or something, STOP. Spreading it around like that causes air bubbles and pockets to form, this is bad juju for your processor. The best thing to do is to just let the force and pressure of your heatsink spread it around by itself, thus automatically eliminating any air bubbles and pockets and creating a tightly sealed, pressurized fit.
use only a quality TIM, i prefer Arctic Silver S
I place a small globe on the center of the cpu and then spread it around with a razor blade till i have a thin semi transparent layer covering the entire cpu, this ensures plenty of metal-to-metal contact while leaving enough TIM to fill in the gaps
and my bb gun will kill someone, would probably go clean through a skull if you shot someone in the face
I follow the instructions according to this site

Using a product as directed is the "best" way.

The "Best" TIM Application Technique can vary based upon what style HS/HSF you are using
BenchmarkReviews did a great writeup on the different application techniques per each HSF style.
Tell me, what exactly prompted you to dig up this thread in the first place? And why, oh dear god why, do you have to fail so terribly at following the discussion you're three months late interjecting your pisstake into?
You've either got graphite instead of thermal paste or you're lying your ass off.

I used the dot and press method, seems to be working well. Might remove it and redo it sometime though, not sure if i put quite enough on.
Also, word of warning, my hypercooler 212 said the heatsink was sharp, and they weren't kidding. I got a few cuts on my fingers from pressing it down and turning it side to side a bit.
