That's my main gripe with how the bulletproof suits were shown in the fourth movie. There is a difference between getting shot in the chest and actually catching a bullet with your suit while using it as a shield. The former is believable because the kinetic energy would dissipate in your ribs (possibly breaking them) the later isn't because it's roughly equivalent to dissipating the bullet's energy using your arm.
OTOH it's a John Wick movie, expecting anything to be very relatistic is already thinking one step too far.
- wongarsu 3y agoI haven't mathed this out, but from experience from jumping (both from heights and towards ledges) I would think that our arms and legs are much better shock absorbers than our ribs. If you hold something like a shield, you are primarily using your triceps and shoulder muscles as springs to dissipate the impact over the distance of about a foot. Of course there are issues with that, but it's much better than your rips which can move much less before breaking.
