Stop a bullet with muscles?

[mister12345]

Is it possible to train to a point where if you are shot in the abs or chest and you are flexing, the bullet would not kill you but instead just bruise you and bounce off? It seems possible...I'm talking about a regular revolver from old westerns or something, no high powered rifles.

[LawlKing]

Yes

[yomomma212]

Dunno about old school revolvers but back when I was living in romania as a kid, a friend of my grandpa survived a barrage of bullet wounds to the chest and abdominals during a mugging. Apparently, a lot of the bullets had gotten lodged in his muscles and no vital areas of his body. This was in a small village where a ton of people basically were on dat dere paul bunyan monster status tho so iono, based on that, I always figured it wouldn't be a far stretch of the imagination to presume that being beefy actually provides stopping power even against bullets.

you should try...

report back to us in the Misc with findings...

good luck OP.

FYI old westerns colts and the such had FPS of about 910 - 1200 and energy of 460 ft. lbs

keep us posted!

[SlippyFist]

absolutely. best of luck in your future endeavors.

cool i just bumped you up from 2104 to 2105, lulz

[mister12345]

Ok OBVIOUSLY I'm not going to go shoot myself in the stomach for the Misc, I did some research and there is a guy named fat pete chiodo he got shot and his FAT saved his life, is this not possible with muscles? EVEN if the bullet doesn't bounce off, I'm sure an extra layer of protective muscle could save your life instead of just having skin for the bullet to tear through...

Deer season starts Friday. Was sighting my gun in tonight (.300 short mag) and shot a hole straight through a 1/2 steel plate from 100 yards.

When I was 17 I got shot by a .22 accidentally from roughly that same distance. The bullet went into my arm, but not very far.

***CLIFFS***
-it all depends on the gun and bullets used

[mister12345]

At what distance would the bullet become weak enough to bounce off someone?

[biggquis]

I just want to get to 600 and go to sleep...

But I wonder if a nice 6 pack could stop one of dem old round pellets

fuking lol'd dunno why.

[ChrisHansenDatelineNBC]

I just want to get to 1*10^3 reps and sleep.

OP, my dads friends brothers sons friends grandpas friends grandsons cousins niece friends brother did it once, he trained for decades though

[Ultra_Magnus]

of course muscle would help stop a bullet.

[vik_man]

only if you follow this

[WarWithWeakness]

Anyone expecting to get shot at would be better off training to get out of the way faster, than training to stop the bullet with their abs.

Just a thought.

I remember seeing it on mythbusters i think. they put like a foot-deep of muscle and foot-deep of fat against a bullet. the bullet penetrated the muscle, but i think the fat slowed it down/stopped it. can't recall exactly
