If you happen to know anyone in law enforcement, they could probably give you some information on weapons and how bodies react to various types of violence, and also point you in the direction of a local forensics lab.  Also, I found this link to the (in)famous Body Farm:

On the subject of books, there are several available in my store (and presumably in others) with titles like "The Science of CSI", etc., and another one called "Stiff" which explores forensics on bodies.  Drop by your local store and look in the True Crime section to see if they have anything like that.

Can't really give anything helpful but your question about cracking skulls to get to brains reminded me of the scene in Hannibal where he's frying the agent or whatever's brains and casually pulls the top of his skull off, having sawed through it earlier.

I usually take fight scene inspiration from movies and books with nice good one's.

For that particular question, I am working on a zombie project.  One of the ideas I had to get to the brain was to poke two fingers into the eye sockets and rip the top of the skull off. You would use the face as leverage for this, but I don't think the facial structure is strong enough for this.  It might just collapse.

Neat!  And an interesting way to get to the brain.  I dunno, isn't facial structure usually pretty strong?  Maybe the area just under the eyes down to the mouth wouldn't be able to take it but I'd think the rest would.  Then again, I could be entirely wrong.
