A silly question about acupuncture...?

Is it possible, if you had enough needles, and put them in the right places you could make an arm or leg immobile or paralyzed? If you can, how long would the effect last? Is there any other "offensive" ways such as that to use acupuncture.
(Yes I know its a silly question, but please do you best to answer it! Any opinions or facts are great)
Thanks for your time...

Not with acupuncture. The needles used in acupuncture are flexible and very thin (about three times the thickness of a human hair.) The lengths of most commonly used needles are 1 inch and 1.5 inch.
The needles used for injections have very hollow shafts, which cause the tissue to be torn by the needle on insertion. The acupuncture needles have a doweled end, not a cutting end like most hypodermic needles, and therefore are far less likely to cause tissue damage or bruising when inserted.

It is possibe to use A needle to paralyze/kill someone, but not an acupuncture needle. They are of too fine a gauge to go deeper than maybe a half inch into the skin.
Yes and no.
You can not paralyze someone performing acupuncture BUT there is a healing sensation called deQi (chee) in acupuncture and when an acupuncturist causes that healing effect the sensation can sometimes be a feeling of numbness and you may "feel" paralyzed.
