I just had a strange thought, probably because my coffeepot all
but exploded this morning and I'm running on fumes (never, _never_ put
instant cocoa in with your drip brewer!)
Just what level of boosted reflexes would you need to throw a
bullet (perhaps birdshot would be best) fast enough to penetrate flesh?
I'm not even thinking about armor yet...just flesh.
Though this idea is inherently a munchkinous joke, it would still
be an interesting thing to know....
