Nowhere in the story did it even remotely state that the two terminators mentioned have some adaptive defense mechanism that kicked in once you failed to kill them with something.What happened in this movie was typical of the terminator movies. Heck in the first one a simple human being was able to get a terminator off balance in a one on one fight even though that same Terminator goes on to walk off car crashes and assault rifle shots like they were nothing. The premise is to build tension.
So let us not start assigning abilities that never happened in the movie.
The Terminators do not ramp up in durability by adapting to things that did not kill them. They are just super tough things that can get taken by surprise and knocked down like any other physical being.
If John survives a Boolean shot (something I have extreme doubts to because he never took that kind of firepower in the Genisys and the only that comes close, the lasers, while not killing him certainly were putting a hurting on him) he is probably going to be seriously messed up. Enough for another shot to take him down.
and yet we have seen the t-1000 termination (the new and old) becoming more and more resistant to weapons as they progress
my example of this in genysis is when we see the standard police revolver (which the T-1000 was armed with) putting the T-1000 down then the bullet holes heal up as he runs into the clothing store, after reese (rhyse? reece?) is hiding behind the counter with the other police officer who was using a glock 20 to put holes in the oncoming terminator who was walking them off with no problem. then came in Sarah with the Desert eagle with is the famous 50 cal handgun that knock the terminator on its arse since its a much higher calibre then the police issue glock. when driving off the sarah pumped the terminator with the Same desert eagle and the terminator was taking them without being "one shotted"
the same is shown in the old terminator as the t-100 takes one shotgun blast from a standard pump action and is knocked down for a while, later on we see him taking multiple spas-12 shots and easily walking towards Sarah.
they are it was a T-1000, they do adapt and john was a T(x?) 3000 who was adapting very well to different sorts of high calibre weaponry
yes I do think a Boolean gun would hurt him a shiteton but if it doesn't put him down permenantly then there is strong evidence (as stated above) that he could adapt his durability)
like I have earlier mentioned pops said that only EMP weaponry and the likes would hurt or deal more then minimal damage to the upgraded connor, he was downed by a shotgun blast from pops in the garage then later on is seen to tank shotgun, assult rifle and medium-high calibre rounds. aswell as ordinance and bunker destroying inferno's/ explosions
