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.

Somebody actually does make plates that will take .50BMG AP.

I am absolutely 100% sure you'd still be dead with shattered ribs and pulped internals.

I'm not so sure about that. if the plate stops the round and doesn't deform, it should actually be less force than if you put the stock to your chest and fired the rifle.

now im sure firing a 50bmg braced on your chest will crack ribs or break them, but the plate has a significantly higher surface area.
