    getting outraged over this nonsense says so much more about you than it does about OOP having a giggle.

      I think the top picture is a banana with brown spots on it. And the bottom picture has the most obscene lighting I’ve ever seen.

    This guy thinking real life works by rpg rules where blocking or being hit slowly raises your defense stat.

    If this idiot had gone from… a .22 pellet … skipped over .22short, skipped over .22lr… and gone to .223?

    Thats a fucking necked, rifle cartidge.

    Something like 15x the energy in ft-lbs or joules than a .22 short.

    He would have blown a good chunk of his leg off.

    … Anybody ever see photos of the aftermath of when a SWAT squad is stacked up prior to a door breach, and one of em accidentally fires a round into the back of their buddy’s knee?

    You lose your fucking leg, amputated at the knee.

    I could find and NSFW spoiler post the images I’ve seen, but I do not want to look up nor see that shit again.

      It wasn’t 223, check the post again. His goal was 223 but he went to the hospital from 22 short.

        … Yes, that is why I said:

        If this idiot had gone from… a .22 pellet … skipped over .22short, skipped over .22lr… and gone to .223?

        Did you not read the second sentence?

          Oh I guess I’m confused how your first sentence is related to the rest of your post?

          Sorry, but that “if” is doing a lot of work when the rest of it seems like you’re building a strawman to beat.

            -.-

            The first sentence is a general description of this guy’s approach to reality.

            Everything after that is an explanation of a hypothetical scenario, meant to further illustrate the danger of this way of thinking.

            …

            It isn’t a strawman.

            A strawman is when you intentionally distort a person’s argent or beliefs into a bastardized version that is easier to argue against or criticize.

            Neither is this an attempt to… slander this person by spreading a false version of the story.

            He obviously did not shoot a .223 into his leg at point blank, I never said he did, I in fact made it explicitly clear that this had not happened with the sentence I quoted.

            If he had actually shot himself with a .223… best case scenario, he misses bone, and loses about a golfball of flesh.

            If he had fired a .223 into his own leg and hit bone, the bone would have shattered and then torn up even more of muscle tissue… possibly necessitating an amputation.

            And in really any of these scenarios, with any caliber, he’s lucky he didn’t hit his femoral or other major artery, because he could have bled to unconsciousness in 15 minutes or less, and then died.

            …

            But anyway, see how I used ‘if,’ in those above sentences about hypotheticals?

            Yes, ‘if’ does in fact greatly modify a sentence’s meaning… that is how English works.

            I am not building a strawman to defeat.

            I am laying out a hypothetical that shows what could have happened if his leg shot with a .22 short managed to be a through and through, or not cause him so much pain as to convince him to stop trying to buff his natural bullet resistance stat irl.

            …

            Entirely serious question: Have you not graduated high school, or maybe English is not your first language?

            You don’t seem to have very good reading comprehension; you are missing words and unable to parse a somewhat, but not very, complex sentence structure.

              “His way of thinking wouldn’t work because if he skipped a bunch of steps in his process, it would blow off his leg” isn’t the great argument you think it is.

                Ok, yep, you can’t read.

                At no point did I attempt to make an argument going into why his way of thinking is fundamentally flawed.

                I simply gave an example of what would happen if he had continued on his given path.

                I’m sorry, but do you require an anatomy/biology/physics lesson as the only acceptable way to clown on an idiotic 4chan post?

                Why do you insist on interpreting what I said as an ‘argument’, as if it … isn’t common fucking knowledge that shooting yourself with a gun is an extremely stupid idea?

                … Are you the OP from this 4chan post?

                Do you need to have it broken down, step by step, why shooting yourself with a gun, is going to permanently injure you, likely quite severely?

                That there is no evidence to support the idea that shooting yourself with progressively higher caliber/grain coint cartridges is not going to result in you gaining some kind of resistance to bullets?

    They don’t dig the bullets out usually because it causes more damage for no reason. Stop believing everything you read someone say on 4chan.

    I wonder what skin would be comparable to if it was even bullet resistant, I’m guessing rhino hide would be the closest real world thing
