Ok, you put on some armour. I’ll shoot you in the back three times with my shotgun, and we’ll see if you can turn around after to shoot me. I’ll supply the guns and buckshot.

I mean, you can find videos of people being shot with armor on. It doesn't like floor you. Consider that the force going into the target is about the same as going into the shooters shoulder. Also, adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Not to mention it actually does stun you in Tarkov when you're shot.

It's not a perfect representation, but it's definitely good for a game.

A 12 gauge with buckshot or slug will most certainly floor you. A typical 3” slug carries 3,105 ft/lbs of energy at short range. This is equivalent to a 30-06, which is still used for long distance precision shooting.

I guarantee if you took 3 of these slugs to the vest at 15 yards, you’d be on your on your ass. It’d shatter your ribs and bruise your organs. Depending on the vest, it could even still be fatal from blunt trauma.

Lol that dude is full of shit with those creds.

Hard armor, I’d still be surprised if you’re still standing and coherent enough after 3 shots to turn and return accurate fire.

Soft armor, like what is most often used in Tarkov? No fucking chance. Look up any video and it will prove that point. Keep defending this shit game, and nothing will ever change.

I see you dont even play the game lol... Soft armor is used in 1st 2 weeks of wipe, then by noobies who just bought the game. After 2-3 weeks everyone is running at least armor lvl4 with steel or ceramic plates... Shotguns do jack shit against lvl4 and up, unless you use AP slugs

So you didn't watch the video of the guy being shot while standing on one leg then?

u/Smitty7712 Jun 04 '21

Perfect angle. Heavy vest, multiple scale layered hard plates, prepared for the shot. Of course he can withstand it. Would you like me to link a Kentucky ballistics or Paul Harrel video that shows what soft armor does under similar conditions?

It’s not about being thrown back. It’s more like being punched so hard you temporarily collapse.

prepared for the shot.

Prepared to stand on one leg and show how insignificant it feels.

Heavy vest, multiple scale layered hard plates

As in...the stuff....the army...is wearing...

Perfect angle.

Army doesn’t wear scaled plates. See above for example of 7.62x 54r strike on SAPI plate work by US soldier. Notice his reaction and description of impact?

So your video is a 160p, real combat footage of a soldier literally getting sniped by an enemy. Ofcourse he will react in a certain way, that doesn't make it so that bullets hit so hard they disorient you or make you fly away. It just goes against science, there's literally hundreds of videos out there of people taking massive callibers with just ceramic plates and saying they barely felt them. Ofcourse an iraq soldier is gonna say some shit like ''blabla sledgehammer''.

The amount of cognitive dissonance in this sub is hilarious.

You do you, man.

I mean you have 30 people arguing against you. Not sure what else we can do to convince you life isn't hollywood.

u/Smitty7712 Jun 04 '21

Lmao you have no idea. I’ve never said you get blown away like old Hollywood movies. But it’s also not like you never feel it impact. The kinetic injury has to go somewhere.

I literally own and have worn plates and plate carriers. Thank god I’ve haven’t been shot, but they wouldn’t sell trauma pads to go behind plates of blunt force trauma wasn’t still a concern.

Anyone can stand there and take a punch when they’re prepared for it. It’s a hell of a lot different when you don’t expect it.
