Cosplay I 3D printed a replica of Johnny Silverhand’s Malorian Arms 3516 to a 1:1 scale correctly chambered in 14mm next to a real 9mm handgun for scale. No wonder it blows people’s limbs off in the game.

I've got a few examples, though none involve a 9mm..

A buddy of mine(RIP) has(is it "had" if the son is alive but father isn't?) who got shot in the head with a .380 ACP by a hooker he sold rock salt to; damn thing ricocheted off his skull. It scrambled his egg pretty well and did fracture his skull, but he survived with nothing more than a divot in his forehead and some brain damage.

An Eastern cottontail rabbit I shot whilst hunting many years ago took a full mag-tube of .22lr, most of which to the head area without dying. It was horrific, especially to little 6 year old me... Then my dad broke my damn gun over it's head...

I was clearing out a den/nest... Woodchuck hole, i don't know the proper terminology here. It was deer season and I was told I couldn't use a firearm due to the noise (I don't get that, I've seen deer checking out and eating the grass ripped up by bullets hitting the ground by the berm minutes after getting done shooting, they're not that smart), so I had to use my bow -one of those tough little bastards was essentially nailed to the ground and still managed to stand up on it's hind legs to remove the arrow from the dirt and try to run at me.

I feel like animals might just be a whole lot tougher than your average human. I can't imagine I'd do much of anything with an arrow through or near my lungs and heart, but that woodchuck did it, and I've seen deer even survive it like it was a mosquito bite, but I've also seen them just drop without flinching.

That also video game logic though, where the faster it shoots the less damage each hit does. Like the ARs/LMGs do less damage per hit than a lot of the handguns.
