Is Thor Bulletprooff?

I'm not sure about the numbers (ie, pounds per square inch), but possibly a bullet might hurt Thor when a nuclear blast doesnt because a bullet generates more pressure per square inch on the surface of whatever it is hitting than the much "broader" impact of a blastwave. This is why a person with a knife can stab through a bulletproof vest: the p.s.i. at the teeny tiny tip of a blade exceeds the p.s.i. at the much broader tip of a bullet's nose. Ah, physics. Can't live with it, can't live without it.

Good argument..but Thor not being able to withstand a bullet is just plain silly. The amount of pressure per square inch on ones body when reaching levels above the Earth's atmosphere would be way more than any amount of pressure a bullet would exert. A lot of these writers need to just plain "edumicate" themselves in some basic physics before writting some of these stories. Suspension of disbelief can only be taken so far...

I think that the writers meant to say that even though he can take incredible blunt(punching and etc) trauma he can't take things like bullets(piercing trauma).
Things are two complete different types of force.

However, I do agree.
Him being able to survive a punch from a class 100 fighter and not being able to take a couple 800 psi ak-47 slugs is stupid.

Hey, sometimes writers smoke weed, just look at batman's writers.
Sometimes, weed is bad.
In batman's writers' case, its' evil.
Evil I tells ya'.

Just read this in another thread and it got me a-thinkin'.

The only time I've seen Thor shot at and get hit was just before his first encounter with the Destroyer. The hunter who later found and animated the Destroyer, managed to take Thor out first with a tranquilizer bullet.

As for demoralizing. Hell, what can be more demoralizing that seeing bulletproof skin, as opposed to a whirling hammer or bracelets? I dont know about you guys, but I'd be thinking, "Man, if I could just get one shot past his hammer / her bracelets...!"

Thiis thread has been done a while ago, I proved he was not bullet proof. bullets hurt him 🙂

wow... who did you prove it to?

certainly nobody here

Not you perhaps but I posted Scans of him being hurt by bullets so..........

I rest my case as its cannon bullets hurt him.

As for the pounds per square inch thing. I suspect a blastwave from a nuke at ground zero has greater kinetic energy than a bullet. 🙂

I'm not saying its sensible but he blocks bullets with a hammer for a reason🙂

Bullets hurt him 🙂

So sorry scoobs I guess I should have said Marvel proved it by having him hurt by bullets, and they proved it again with the tranquilizer dart in BP, my bad, I hope you can forgive me for taking the credit for Marvel's ideas🙂

Keep the faith 🙂

Stay Whirly 🤘

Avoid getting the bullet 🙂

they also disproved it by the times they have had him shot without any injury

i guess your proof scans must have been before yet another Marvel upgrade.... making them... and your argument..... obsolete

so i guess i can forgive you for making such an obvious mistake... i mean, it's not like you would just look for old scans to try and wind people up

🙄

as for this tranquiliser thing, well i haven't read that... what was the dart made from? was it a flashback? do you have a scan?

No I don't have that scan but I've seen it on the forum and its very recent sooo...... my old scans and suspected motives 😖hifty: aside my charming jocular jock, its still happening to Thor. I don't like it anymore than you do. Its silly as I said but he is vulnerable to bullet like projectiles.

🙂

perhaps if the bullet was made of adamantium or some other similar substance it could pierce him.... but i don't believe regular ammunition could achieve that result

problem is though scoobs it has 🙂

so what you believe is a mute point. I know its off kilter, I'm not jockeying for position over this neither am I jocking. I'm taking the highland in this discussion. If Marvel has him hurt by projectiles ergo he is not bulletproof 🙂

I dont know about him being bullet proof or not but I know for a fact he is not "heat vision" proof. 😖hifty:

pffft... that didn't even break his skin

Considering that he took it and was still attacking after that, he is.

I've seen Thor spin Mjolnir around really fast to deflect bullets. Why would he do that? Unless bullets are annoying as hell to him, like flies are to us.

he's also Axe proof (asgardian battle axe wielded by an Asgardian.... these have been shown to slice through tanks before)

Enough biting flies will kill you.

I would say he could be bullet resistant, but not like Superman - they might as well be empty air to him. But they could be a stinging annoyance, just like we would wave off a bunch of biting insects. That's why you pull the whirling hammer bit.

Look at the smoke rolling off his motionless body.

I think everyone agrees that Superman is more durable, but Thor "not being buttleproof" according to some when he has taken things like it has been showed here its a bit retarded.

ok, alot.

Well, Supes vision is what, 11,000 degrees at max? He still waded through it( should've used the hammer to absorb it, dammit) to get a shot in, but it wasn't easy on him.

It was the punch that hurt him. He basically walked through the heat vision as if it weren't even there.
