Renjoh Desperado - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - The wandering girl and the disguise, part 2

I guess the gravity is 100 times bigger in that universe if simply falling bullets can reach piercing speeds.Its not like the author doesnt know how gravity works...

"Firearms expert Julian Hatcher studied falling bullets in the 1920s and calculated that .30 caliber rounds reach terminal velocities of 90 m/s (300 feet per second or 186 miles per hour).[7] A bullet traveling at only 61 m/s (200 feet per second) to 100 m/s (330 feet per second) can penetrate human skin.[8]"

I can't imagine being petty and annoying enough to nitpick at shit like this in a rule of cool action manga, let alone being completely wrong about what you're whining about.
 
@Wexmajor finally some damn sense and an excellent resource. I have a published copy of Hatcher's Notebook and it's a fascinating, dense read. It won't kill ya unless it clonks a soft spot on your skull, but you'll bleed for sure. These rounds look to be just about .30cal themselves. But, they look light; probably no more than 140 grains. The damage is exaggerated in the scene where her hand got hit, no doubt, but I bet at least one metatarsal is broken.

Now let me disprove you, lets say he is firing a 5.56×45mm 4gr bullet with a ~800m/s. Is going to go max 3 km up. terminal velocity at the ground is about 200 m/s and kinetic energy is ~180-200J . That is comprable to getting hit by a baseball or a small rock at high(human speeds). (http://wredlich.com/ny/2013/01/projectiles-muzzle-energy-stopping-power/ I even included a website describing this in simple Joe terms for your convenience.) Don't forget the videos they really show the same kinetic energy of the bullet in our case hitting a guy. It might only penetrate the skin and only that.
Now lets go back to the manga. I never argued about a curved trajectory fired bullet doing no gamage of course it will. The thing I argued about was the almost 90 degress verical shots that fucking pierce her whole hand and obliterate rocks when free falling. At most she would maybe get a scratch or big bruise that would knock her arm away from the sword or whatever she was reaching for.
Taking an exaggerated comment this comment lol 5/10 made me reply.
