Another World in Japan ~The third son of the assassin family reigns supreme in a transformed Japan~ - Ch. 21

[Werebearguy]

You don't show a man his woman and expect NOT to get absolutely wrecked as a result. Whoever sent him that airdrop is about to have a very bad day.

Keep going with this manga it great

Thanks dear hero, pls continue the series but don't forget to take some rest

 

[Tomibiki]

So if he's actually popping the trunk on these evildoers, would the gun have been blessed by Ingrid's ritual?

You know I always wondered how the people directly behind that dude didn't get a bullet either. Indy could have shot right though the guy into an innocent bystander or two before the momentum of the bullet stopped.

depends on the bullet too, hollow points has good stopping power, also how good of a shot indie is wouldnt aim an area with no resistance, bullet would ricochet, lots of reasons.

Well I just hope it's not:

The novel part of this series was that it was set in modern Japan. If they immediately head to the other side then it just blends into the crowd.

Thank you for the chapters!!
Really entertaining manga, rare case where I actually started liking it more as it progressed than in reverse!

Because not all bullets carry the same kinetic energy, or have the same terminal ballistics.

I am a bit concerned about the general lack of basic firearm knowledge in today's society.
Just the same as if there was a lack about basic fire knowledge, or car knowledge.
Ignorance is not a valid survival strategy.

But assuming your question is merely from a lack of opportunity, not a lack of willingness to learn:

Even in 1940s, not all bullets carry sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate 6-12" of flesh or bone. Human or Game/Animal.
The bullet may yaw, squash, deform, fragment, tumble. And depending on bullet design intent: any may (or won't) happen.
Or even heavy clothing. A series of tests in 1980s ("FBI criteria") showed denim can "clog up" JHPs, hurting their function.

1. Baseline "plated lead" projectile (Full Metal Jacket/Total Metal Jacket) are giant BB's, and flatten out like a snowball.
2. More modern technologically advanced "expanding" (Jacketed HollowPoint) dump energy more quickly, thus penetrate less.
3. Some even have a minimum velocity band to expand/fragment -- too fast, or too slow, and they don't work right.
   (Eg: 5.56NATO is a "small caliber high velocity" cartridge -- can icepick, fragment, or expand -- depending on ammo design.)

Small caliber handgun revolver cartridges like 38SPECIAL (as in Indiana Jones) from the 1940s generally were the former.
A FMJ 38SPL might penetrate if you hit an arm or other "thin" profile. Or might not if you hit center mass torso or bone.
There's a lot of engineering behind projectile design and "terminal ballistics".

And lot of fearmongering too. Causing concerns like yours from normal people who don't know deeper.
Sometimes it weedles it way into laws, which is super annoying. Or manga art, which super-duper triggers people like me.
