Inverted in Gladiator I guess, when Russell Crowe's character comments about how 'sometimes the cold makes the blade stick".demoman_chaos said:
In a lot of futuristic sci-fi, a main character standing in the middle of a room and firing a gun will NOT be hit. Somewhat subverted in Andromeda and Ian Bank's Culture novels, where they both have tech that can deflect regular and smart bullets.
The future is going to be a utopia. People have been saying that since the Enlightenment, unless we go post-scarcity it's not going to happen.
In the world there's good guys and bad guys. This is almost never the case in reality, it's purely subjective most of the time.
Cars explode in massive fireballs.
You lie, the '90s Street Fighter movie taught me the truth about you dictator-supporting bastards.EmileeElectro said:
Ever seen Deadwood? That show was epic in its realistic version of the west, there's almost no gun fights, most of the time when people use a gun its to shoot someone in the back of the head when they're not looking. Knife fights happen though, and there is a truly, truly brutal fight between two bodyguards.Sir Strange Of The House Lycan said:
He says, "Frost, it sometimes makes the blade stick." if I remember right. Frost makes even the bolt on a rifle stick. A bit of water gets in there and freezes it shut, just like car doors.Blind Sight said:
That lighting a gas tank in a car on fire will make it explode. All it does is burns the petrol inside.
If you get hit by a 7.62mm round, used in say, AK-47's or battle rifles, you -will- be knocked down. That round is heavy and it is hitting you hard.stukov961 said:
For my own contribution.
Shooting a flamethrower's tank won't make it explode, the fuel will just spray out and knock the person with the tank on their back off of their feet.
This is true.
VERY LOUD! Especially in tight spaces, guns can deafen you permanently.
And believe me, getting hit with a bullet with armour is like taking Mike Tyson head to your chest, fired out of a a cannon. You don't go flying, but it can easily knock you down.

The physics you speak of is different, like newtons cradle, its his working example for that effect. However with a gun its different as there are dozens of different components for shock absorption and changing effects. For example, gun springs, gas outlets, directional force (going out the tube is easier than pushing back), aerodynamics, power of explosion vs strength of medium, the physics behind gunfire are many. And even then firing a gun the wrong way can knock you off your feet.stukov961 said:

My point wasn't that you can't be knocked back by bullets it was that the shooter is affected by a force of the same magnitude - the recoil. And a bullet exerts a large force on a very small area, thus if you're not wearing any bullet protection the bullet will most likely exit the body, taking a great deal of it's momentum with it. Wearing a bulletproof vest spreads that force over a much larger area, reducing the risk of a fatal wound as well ass making it more likely for the one beeing shot keels over backwards.AmrasCalmacil said:
What I was mostlythinking of however is the old wild west style of getting shot, where you're thrown ten feet backwards through a window. Any such scenario would result in the shooter flat on his ass at least 20 feet away, (as the handgun does a much better job of transferring the kinetic energy to the body, than the bullet, wich will most likely cause an exit wound, thus transfer much less energy as a large part simply makes a neat hole through the body.
I will NEVER understand where the "bad toothed Brit" stereotype comes from. Just because Prince Charles is an imbred doesn't mean we all are.
And tbh, i've seen FAR more mouth horror stories in your Wal-mart pictorial gems than I have in dentists here... oh yeah... free health care... ouch.

Right,thanks everyone for clearing this gun-shot thing up for me.I unfortunatly have never been near a real gun.have done some practice with bb-guns and those arn't exacly as loud as a real gun.

NA can be scanned instandly and give the identity of who it is.
In reality,It can take up weeks before its done.

I've never understood why people think that shotguns have such short range. If you think about it for 20 seconds, even if you've never seen a real shotgun, you can conclude that a bullet wouldn't be going fast enough to turn a torso to mist for a few feet and then fall to the ground. That would mean that the bullet magically negated its own momentum.N1ceDreamz said:
I always thought that it was just a stereotype, until I was at an airport in heathrow and saw a ridiculous amount of british people with bad teeth.Killbot said:
Not that I care, seeing as I have shitty teeth.
