In fact, it gets weaker and weaker as guns improve because the required amount to “stop” a human had been grossly overestimated. .308 hunting rifle cartridge, still deemed necessary to stop charging wild animals, has muzzle kinetic energy of 3.5kJ. .223Rem for AR-15, used in wars against humans, is 1.8kJ, 9mmx19 used in latest “tactical self defense” PCCs is just 0.5kJ. Bullets are all deadly if it hits and when it hits.

- almost_usual 6y agoGo back to Reddit. Between the technical incompetence of commenters on here and the substance of dumb comments like these I’m ready to take a break from HN.
- numpad0 6y agoConventional military weapons aren’t effective against a Godzilla, and nukes only strengthen them. Effective means are strong basic chemicals, another Godzilla class monster, or fricken lasers. It’s kind of a tangible realization of sense of grave defeat from WWII among Japanese population immediately post-war, hence weakened emphasis on militaristic means in its plot.
- op03 6y agoInteresting points. I didn't make those connections, watching the 2019 American version King of Monsters yesterday. Bailed out one hour in feeling too much sensory overload. Might go finish it now.
