Any games out there with one shot kills/true realism?

I highly doubt you would continue fighting or firing your gun afterward, and I think that's the point.

You'd reckon that those who are going to shoot many other armed opponents will at least wear a bulletproof vest. Bulletproof being relative of course. So no, a hit at a protected bodypart doesn't have to be fatal.

You'll still get knocked down at least. Can't defy the laws of physics.

No. Getting knocked down by the force of the bullet WOULD defy the laws of physics.

A bullet doesn't have the kinetic energy to knock down a human being

I would make an argument that several bullets could knock a person down... I would say .357 or larger can knock a person down, of course you have to take into consideration the placement of the shot, the size of the person and the distance from the person.

Already debunked on Mythbusters. No bullet has enough energy to knock down a person.

Myth Creators isn't exactly a trusted source for scientific research. 99% of their "experiments" are conducted outside of a control environment, they generally fail to monitor all the variables and anyone would have an extremely difficult time reproducing their experiments and achieving similar results to theirs. Myth Creators is not science, it's TV. People quote it like they do Wikipedia, which makes me laugh.

Well, short of lining up some 'volunteers' and firing away, I think firing at a pig carcass with a kevlar vest on it is probably about as close as you can get. I think their bullet and ballistics gel stuff is pretty decently done. That said, the newer stuff is all about blowing things up.

The sobering up show was pretty great though :laugh:
