Why are his weapons 8A? Isn't that just the fact that he's using a gun against people who have better blunt durability but no penetration resistance (I mean like how Spiderman can tank 7C impacts but still get killed by bullets)? I'm asking because I was discussing a possible RWBY versus thread with my friend if he actually is 8A, but I think it would be a stomp against them at least b/c they are actually bulletproof.

>blunt and penetration durability

And that's where this argument starts to make no sense.

Sorry it's like how Spiderman can take 7C impacts but he still gets hurt by bullets. Or do we just sort of slot the two together in this site? I'm still not very clear on all the VS battle rules, so any clarification would be nice. Thanks!

There is no such thing as Blunt force or penetration durability

@Huesito88

Thanks for replying! So do we just sort of generally make the characters bulletproof at 9B-8B even if canonically they would be killed by standard weapons?

As I replied to your thread on my wall, we have to gauge characters by their higher showings, even though, for example, Wonder Woman can canonically be killed by bullets.

We acknowledge the extreme illogical inconsistencies of western superhero comics, but this is largely cases of the "writers can't do math" trope or plot-induced stupidity.

Oh yeah no I got it thanks Antvasima. I was going to ask someone to close thsi thread b/c you already answered. Thanks!

 

[Antvasima]

No problem. I will close this then.
