Wow, are YOU going to be in for a surprise, Supergirl -- kind of like Golaith was -- since one teensy-weensy bullet is all it'd take (unless you really ARE bulletproof). I fugure one such bullet in your head -- if it doesn't kill you -- will "disorient" you enough to drill you some more IF necessary (and also in your head).
Still, you'll probably keep reading those DC Comics anyway...but DO try to check in with reality occasionally, for your own good.
And no, no one is any more afraid of your "40" than they are of any other caliber. They ALL should garner equal respect. Now, if someone were pointing a Ma Deuce at me, then I MIGHT reconsider...
;-)
BTW, I used to live in Fairfax (on Egan Dr.) way back when...those homes sure have gotten expensive over the years.
Ummmm, genius. I HAVE been hit with -twice. Both times -(separate incidents) with .25 auto -close enough to .22 to not even be an issue- I didnt even feel it.
Granted the one time was into my multiple layers of winter gear- but even still- one would think I should have felt SOMETHING, given it was literally point-blank into my chest.
The other time, in my right hand- my gun hand that was returning fire, as it so happens. Said impact was not enough that I even realized Id actually taken a hit.
I thought, at the time, that Id just been grazed, or dinged by my own shell -casing as I fired. It was the better part of an hour, after all was said and done, that a buddy who was with me pointed out that my hand was bleeding.
I looked down, said "dang" whiped it off and carried on, thinking it was indeed just a graze.
Another hour or two passed before I went and whiped it again, and then felt the lump of the round just beneath the skin, along the back of my right hand. -
THEN- I went to the E/R, and had the round removed, and the entry wound -a scratch- stitched up.
Believe me, a .22 or anything even remotely that size, is unlikely to stun or daze anyone into inaction, much less stop them from whatever it is they are doing.
UNLESS-that magic shot happens, and you somehow manage to drop them then and there.
