2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Suppressed weapons. Shit is still loud, anyone anywhere near it will hear it. Also, when a bullet hits a person or any other surface the impact sound is loud as well.
Hitting people with beer bottles. You take a beer bottle to the head and you're probably done for.
Beer bottles not so much, I've been hit with a beer bottle and a wine bottle, hurt but adrenaline is a hell of a drug. I have seen a guy do the super cool break the bottle on a table to threaten a guy once, he needed 20 or so stitches when the neck of the bottle shattered in his fist. But it did stop the fight.
It’s not as consistent as your point about the silencer but also people absolutely both can 1) keep going after being shot, getting hit once and instantly, silently, being down for the count isn’t that realistic and 2) a lot of people haven’t actually experienced real pain to understand how bad real pain is you don’t get shot and just suck air through your teeth tie a piece of fabric around it tightly then act totally normal, pain can be physically and mentally disabling, especially after a few minutes and the endorphins wear off. I understand shooting people to have them fall down and start screaming bloody murder while also trying to scramble to shoot you back isn’t necessarily good story telling but if it was part of story telling I think a lot of shootings would be skipped in plot lines
I think listening to your buddy dying all night in No Man's Land is a staple of WW1 films.
Tbh, it depends on the person. I've broken a finger before, and while it hurt like hell I didn't scream in pain. I was silent while thinking oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck in my head while trying to get to safety.
That being said, once the adrenaline wore off I had signs of shock. I couldn't stand for long before getting tunnel vision
I tore an Achilles tendon once, and for the first 20 minutes, I was still able to walk, but I was literally blacking out. I didn't feel much pain, but my vision just kept getting dark. When I stopped walking, my vision returned. The pain came afterward 😶
I’ve had a double lung transplant with no epidural, I did physical therapy on ECMO, real pain is mentally disabling. I’ve broken both my arms, the first one I sat for 40 minutes before decoding I should go to urgent care, the other arm I drove myself there. Once you cross your personal threshold for pain you’re more animal than human.
Sounds like CF. I knew a chap who also had a lung transplant after spending a week on ECMO. I can't even imagine what you both went through.
I’ve seen a guy take a ball bat to the head and kept fighting. Adrenaline exists for a reason.
