cipher123 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 Hey there everybody,Whilst on Lycos IQ the other day, a strange question popped into my head, so I decided to ask it on their site. I wanted to know how fat you'd have to be to become bulletproof!Within 5 minutes I'd had a reply. I was told that physicians in America had performed these tests on this weird skin-like substance, and had calculated that the penetration the bullet made compared to the force of the shot in comparison to the thickness of the lesh, would mean you would become bulletproof if you had 60 centimetres o fat around your middle!So, being obese can be a good thing...

BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 60cm is about 24 inches (for those who are in different measurement )Ack! To walk around or live with 2 feet of lard in my belly? If a bullet doesn't kill me, the massive heartattack will...I think I would rather invest in a kevlar vest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyda 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 same here, being that big inot worth it, even if you can be good if you get shot. But who would wanna shot someone that big anyway? Much rather buy a vest then having to carry a load of fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spyda 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I never thought it that way endless hATE, that you couoldnt fit through the door, I just thoiught it was big, like the amount of fat, but I did not know it was like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 I rather look like fool (50 cent) and wear a vest, of ocurse I am surprised that you didn't ask how much muscle a person were to need to order to become bullet proof.Also I would assume that this bullet proof would come form small arms and say like a high powered rifle or 50 cal sniper rifle (yeah hundreds of people are running around with those).

Plenoptic 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2007 Ya I would like to know how bulletproof you would be and how powerful the bullet was shot at them from the test and how far away. I think I'll stick with my little skinny self instead of trying to gain that much wait and end up dying from one of the many other factors you would be put into danger by because you are that obese. I wonder how it would look though, see if fat starts dropping out... or not. It'd still hurt either way though as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

delivi 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2007 Ok as you say if you're fat you an make your body bulletproof, but what will happen if the bullet is shot at the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serverph 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 Ok as you say if you're fat you an make your body bulletproof, but what will happen if the bullet is shot at the head.tragically, it can result to death, obviously. until the time of course when a bullet-proof head encasement is made available (imagine a bullet-proof fishbowl you can wear ), or when humans have evolved substantially to magically repel any bullet on any part of the body.

CinnamorollTK 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Even if someone would have enough flesh around them to be bulletproof, what use would it be? Someone could kill this person by shooting them in the head. Even if the head had enough fat, a shot to any of the eyes could kill that person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FolkRockFan 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Even if the bullet does not kill you, it would still do a lot of damage. And I imagine that, despite the thick layer of fat, you would still feel quite a bit of pain.The best course of action is of course to try not to get in the way of any bullets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny 1 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Like BuffaloHELP said, I'd invest in kevlar. It's lighter anyway. <3Besides, if you're that big, why would you need to be bulletproof? You're not gonna rob a bank...it'd take like 2 hours for you to get to a getawar car, and 2 more to get in...unless maybe you have a getaway pickup truck, or getaway uhaul...

zak92 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2007 Well why don't you ask how much muscle you need to protect your organs as you see along with being healthy if you have muscle it has many more benefits unlike obesity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
