Can being obese help you survive gunfire?

I was reading a historical account of a mobster who got shot 12 times but survived because his fat shielded his vital organs by acting like ballistics gel in a way. Does this mean if we shove a bunch of fatties into kevlar they become basically invulnerable?

    Whatever minor shielding effect their fat might give them would be massively outweighed by them being much slower to get into cover. On top of that they have greater risk of injury and lesser endurance and willpower.

      Agree with everything aside from willpower. Used to be over 300lbs and went down to 190. That took a frickton of willpower.

          A man who weighs less than 200KG is not a man. Our Bloat Lord weighs over 440lbs and can still do 14 full extension pullups. He's at least 4/5/6/7, mortal.

          Can your twink arms even hold 1,200lbs?

          Thanks and I get your point. Some just need to wake up and realize what they look like or get the right push but most fat people stay fat. What worked for me was being made fun of and fricking hate. The whole fat acceptance shit needs to be exterminated. The only way to get better is to realize what a disgusting blob you are.

      I asked this same question in a QTDDTOT once (hint to OP). One guy posited that the heat transfer from the bullet impacting would render at least some of the fat and therefore increase penetration. I don’t really care if the science is there or not bc I think that’s funny to imagine.

      Muscle is a lot better at absorbing ballistic impact than fat. The best way to be a tank is to have a strongman build

    Let me guess, this was during an era where .25 acp was considered a viable cartridge?

    Be fit - run fast - get away
    Be fat - get shot - get shot again - oh he's still moving, get shot again

    Anon, you can't be serious with that question.
    Of course it does. Everyone know that fat absorbs the energy of bullets.

    being massively overweight might help you survive in the short term but would massively reduce your chances of not dying to infections and other complications caused by your wounds.

    Peter "Fat Pete" Chiodo
    "On May 8, 1991, two shooters ambushed Chiodo at a gas station in Staten Island, where he was working on a car. Chiodo received 12 bullet wounds in the arms, legs, and torso, but survived the attack. Doctors credited Chiodo's massive girth for saving his life; none of the slugs penetrated a vital organ or artery. However, he suffered several abdominal wounds and a disabled right arm"

      Cause they didn't know where to aim, it takes feet of fat to stop 9mm fmj.

    No. Trauma surgery is a lot harder on a fat person. A routine procedure can become very complicated with giant fat rolls in the way of delicate movements and instruments.
