[The Merchant Of Menace]

Or a simple splatter of napalm (homemade) on your faceguard

[Earthquake Damage]

Also automobiles.  Nothing says fun like blunt force trauma.

[ein]

Or a .50 BMG.
No, it's not anti-personnel, it's anti-material.
The Russians have a bullet that's, if I remember correctly, 5mm longer and it's anti-tank.
Same applies to anything with that much kinetic power being applied in a single direction.
What happens when you wear something that heavy?
You move more slowly, making yourself an easier target.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

I think that was covered by "bigger guns"

[ein]

American sniper rifles go beyond bigger guns into a class of their own.

[Sowelu]

It's not just being a target.  Tactics has a lot to do with positioning.  If you run slower, you are in a huge positional disadvantage.  Getting in a good position can mean that 1/10th the number of bullets get chucked your way.  Does your armor block 10x the number of bullets as lighter stuff that won't keep you from getting in position?

So does artillery.  "Bigger guns" serves as a catchall for all these things.

[ein]

I don't think artillery has a kinetic energy of 15k Joules as it leaves the barrel.
Nor is it nearly as focused a weapon.

[Aqizzar]

...What the Hell are you talking about?  15kJ as it leaves the barrel?  Have you somehow forgotten what the word "artillery" means?

[ToonyMan]

"THIS ANCIENT EARTH PROGRAM MAKES NO SENSE!! WHY DOES ROSS NOT SIMPLY EAT THE WEAKER FLATMATES!!!?"

I've seen that line before, but can't place it.  Do want source.

Futurama.

Obviously you haven't seen what happens when a Howitzer hits a heavily armored person.

... They die, of course. But that's not my point.

Anyway, why not throw those in the category, 'Huge Guns'. Like if you were shot with a MetalStorm^tm

I take every opportunity I can to mention that i have shares in that company.

[Tellemurius]

jeez people i haven't even tested materials yet its at the drawing board right now. no fricking way can you be protected from cocktails, the only protection from that is maybe firefighter suits but im sure as hell not using those to run around in.

other note, the snow stop, now im begging for a school delay.

[Vector]

The entire fucking world smells like math professor.

Also, I'm done with the next half-week/week of homework and have scalloped potatoes cooking in the oven.  Now it's time to get ahead a little in Russian, because it's always good to have an advantage.

[Itnetlolor]

Well, this has to qualify as one of the most insane things I've seen recently.
