Minor CRT: SCP-999

[Flashlight237]

So yeah, for some reason, a durability feat is listed as a speed feat in SCP-999's article.:

Unknown (Has blocked bullets, but the distance it covered to do so is unknown)

There's two problems with that.

1. That's the common trope of jumping in front of a shot being fired while yelling "Noooooooo!!!", which is usually done in response to a weapon already being aimed at someone. Just like aim-dodging, there is usually some startup done for this feat.
2. Gunfire is usually portrayed as 9-C. Why the heck are you guys listing that as "Unknown" when practically every gun had their KE values set at at least 9-C?

So yeah, fix that pls.

The scan alone kinda lacks a lot of context, like who even fired the gun. Hell, I'll take any scp mobile taskforce gun as a reference since they don't really elaborate if this event was done outside the foundation or not.

I don't think the who matters considering it's still a gun with bullets. Any plain handgun can do Street level in on a really small scale (3-600 joules for handguns).

We don't know if it was successful in fully blocking the bullet, the distance of the shooter and 999 would alter the speed of this feat by a lot (Too much variance to give proper speed) etc etc
So as it stands I don't think anything should be changed

If it's wasn't successful in absorbing that kinetic energy of the bullet and just go straight through with no resistance then the article would of reported a body.

Definitely no one's arguing for speed, we don't even have a model weapon with a muzzle velocity to even say it's relativistic to the speed.

Would it necessarily?
The scan just says it jumped in to take the bullet, whether or not it succeeded isn't important to them

It would be necessary, mostly cause whenever a casualty occurs in the foundation a either a body is reported or purposely redacted and neither a casualty nor redaction of said body then the easiest assumption is that 999 did blocked these bullets from doing any lethal damage.

No the easiest assumption is that they didn't care to list it here lol

that's being pretty fallacious to go straight to a "they didn't care" assumption to dismiss it.

 

[Tllmbrg]

There's an assumption either way, so it's just better to just slap unknown

That just seems like a lazy excuse to say he doesn't scale.

 

[Tllmbrg]

Maybe, but it's the safer option in lack of strong evidence for either side
