28 Days Later: Street level+ upgrade

[Jason_Courne]

Currently the Rage Infected from 28 Days Later are tiered at "Athlete level, likely Street level" despite nearly everything described on their page being Street level or higher

• Punching a hole through a wood wall: 397 joules
• Smashing double doors off their hinges: 7343 joules per door or 14.7 kilojoules total
• Slamming a door open: 191 to 495 joules
• "Tearing apart humans" is generally Street level / Wall level (Arm / full body, head, jaw)
• Crowbars / baseball bats are Street level

They are also implied to be capable of snapping necks like with Private Bedford (reaching / grabbing the neck followed by loud crunch), so the Infected should be upgraded to Street level+ and possibly Class 1

(Only reason they aren't getting Wall level is because the arm / full body and jaw calcs were never accepted)

The wood was covering a window, the door feat has athlete level results + was done by a group, and real humans can withstand melee weapons.

No that was straight up a wood wall, forcing open a door is athlete to street level and it was with several heavy objects blocking the door shut, and normal humans can reach up to street level+ general durability

This is clearly a window they broke through

Breaking through a door's lock is street level, not just pushing barricades. It takes a very peaked human to net street level stats.

No it was quite clearly a wall, you can even still see the infected's hand through the hole. Just slamming a door open requires that energy, not including the several filing cabinets pinning the door shut. Not really, people can generate Street level energy just by jogging and people have survived building height drops

That's a very small hole, not sure it even reaches 9-C. The door's kinetic energy might be street level, but there is no way that scales to people who slam doors all the time. I am also fairly sure we stopped using animal running KE a while ago.

The hole is larger than the entire hand, and the wall punching calc only uses the fist's surface area. No Street level is the force a person exerts in order to slam a door open, not the door's kinetic energy, it's also on the fairly low end of Street level too. We don't use kinetic energy for fictional verses, but we still use it for the real world profile (it just no longer scales to durability)

I agree with the changes

Actually the calculation of slamming a door open is for shearing the latch apart. In most cases slamming open a locked door consists of breaking the wooden door jamb (the length of wood with the hole in it that the latch goes into), which can actually be achieved pretty easily in most cases. Just ask anyone who's ever kicked a door in or repaired one afterwards. I've done the latter and I've known more people who've done the former than I'd like to admit.

The boards on the window is significant, since the boards visibly got broken apart rather than simply pushed out of the wall. Depending on the strength of the boards it very much could be Street level, although those boards do look thin and a bit lacking in strength, so I don't know.

The doors look metal and made for quarantine, so it'd probably be way higher than a standard house door

As for the boards, they do look fairly thick in comparison to the hand
