    Arrow damage usually depends on dexterity, though there could be a strength requirement for certain bows.

    There are just too many variables to accurately say "arrows penetrate better than bullets" especially with a test of firing into a sandbag. Yeah in that situation an arrow might be a superior solution. But kevlar? Steel plates? Metal sheets? Hell even wood? Yeah I'd much prefer a bullet 9 out of 10 times.
    Depends on the bullet.

    Tonight I determined that I can reliably keep a 1 inch group on a Nazi Zombie at 15 yards and closer with a compact 45.

    There are absolutely strength requirements for bows. A bow's draw weight corresponds directly to its ability to go far and puncture the shit out of knights.

    Yeah but if you dump too many points into strength no way you're going to be able to get your THAC0 down low enough to hit things reliably at higher levels.

    I can hit things pretty reliably with a bow. It counts as an improvised blud weapon when swung right?

    Yeah, but everyone gets an increased chance to hit you if you're still trying to shoot it while they're attacking you with melee.

    It makes me wonder how viable it would even be to try and sink a Nimitz-class carrier. I have no idea what kind of ordnance would be needed to destroy one of those things.

    If you're lucky, a single Mark 48 ADCAP torpedo or its Eastern Bloc / Middle Eastern / Chinese equivalent. The thing is, you don't even try to punch a hole in the ship. That takes way, way, way too long.

    Instead, you punch an absolutely enormous hole in water underneath the ship.

    Since ships are designed to have their keels supported by the water (or properly-placed wooden blocks) at all times, you end up with a ship that is only partially supported at the ends, which causes it to catastrophically settle in the middle, "breaking its back." The ship loses structural integrity, and breaks up - similar in large part, though certainly not even close to identical, to what happened to the Titanic.

    EDIT: This is why carriers are so very seldomly alone, and are instead surrounded by all kinds of ASW platforms: destroyers, friendly subs, helicopters, P-3s, S-3s ( :( ), their helos, etc. Because, to a submariner, everything on the surface is an LST (Large, Slow Target).

    I wanted a lightsaber my whole life up until the part where George Lucas made this scene and told me that the real way to fight with them was twirling them around like a baton.

    That shit is gayer than an all-male drill team.

    George really should have gotten some help from Tartavosky on the rest of the prequel.

    Lucas didn't have to go and disavow the guy just because he did the franchise better

    well, I mean

    it cuts through damn near everything like butter
    so unless you maintain a fairly constant flow of motion there's a high likelihood of hitting yourself with the thing because you weren't expecting it to go through that dude

    Doesn't make it not lame when the two of them stand there and twirl it around themselves for several seconds.

    No, that was just the special-effects equivalent of jerking off into your own mouth for fun and pleasure.
