Nah I was like 12 at the time, I can't remember a thing :). Again, I think your sword analogy is poor. It's easy to imagine those characters as just insanely strong. Or a sword that can cut through any matter, that's fine as well. We have bullets that shoot though people/things with ease, that's all fine. It's in he realm of real world physics jacked up, or just plane space magic. We have inherently simple things here, bullets travel in straight lines (over short distances), and we have barrels that require bullets to be making 90 degree turns within the gun just to exit the barrel. Fantasy is fine, but fantasy for the sake of avoiding real world physics is awkward. It's easy to say "well they're not real bullets so the firing pin does nothing and the bullets are just coming from a small chunk of programmable matter stored in the magazine" but why not just lower the hammer, or raise the feed-in by those ½ inch measurements? It's clunky, if you get me. Unrealistic for the sake of it, whereas stuff like Nova-Bomb is pure fantasy and in line with the game.
