    And the bow shock will totally mangle cartilage beyond that “I squirted ketchup” effect. And he’d be deaf, right? So many problems in this, another cheap caricature of a real thing.

      you can sustain a tremendous amount of mangling on the exterior of the ear and still hear. I don’t disagree it’d be mangled tho, not this slight nick. I think he grabbed glass and cut his own ear.

          shockwave damage

          well, that’s the thing… these kind of pressure waves do tremendous damage IN tissue. outside of tissue, small arms caliber? ehhh… I don’t think there’s enough transfer from one medium to another - from the air to flesh. It’s def something I’d love to see tested.
