q-bullets are a joke. Ishida is a good writer, but he hasn't got a clue how a bullet is made. The manga stated that the bullets are coated with magic substance. Real life bullets whose goal is to penetrate NEVER coat the bullet itself in a strong alloy, Instead it has a penetrating core made from a strong metal. That is far more effective, as test shown. So the whole idea of q-bullets is just something Ishida casually made up to explain why no serious guy wields a gun in his 21 centuary manga. Also, looking at your comments, most of you really have got no clue what a gun wound would actually do to a person. A neat small hole? really? Air pressure alone would have powerful effects on the exposed tissue. A person who said battle rifle rounds would not be as effective against ghouls should probably consider that there are hollow point 7.62 which would have 5 times the kinetic energy of a 9mm, two times the velocity (more than enough energy to penetrate a ghoul's tough skin) BUT will fragment like hell and make a really huge wound. And what about snipers? A concealed trained marksman with a barrett m82 loaded with raufoss mk 211 would be able to EASILY defeat almost every powerful ghoul in the series (who are prone to standing still and giving a speech - think yoshimura when he just talked to a bunch of CCG mooks and nobody did a thing). A .50 BMG round, even if it does not for some magic reason penetrate his armor ( it penetrates steel plates like paper) still carries 20k joules of energy - a headshot from a 9mm against an armored helmet would snap a person's neck - .50 BMG is 40 times as powerful. Don't tell me it won't snap SSS ghoul's neck when some random( but very strong) guy was able to wring a ghoul's neck with his bare hands and some falling steel beam was able to utterly crush another powerful ghoul. Also, RPGs are not slow at all. The moment you pull the trigger is the moment you see explosion. the INITIAL rpg-7's grenade speed is 115m/s, FAR faster than a human eye is able to see. It only gets faster after that, though in a close range it won't matter. Anyway, I don't know why I bother explaining ballistics here or why I expect realism from a fantasy manga, but for some reason all this stuff just makes me agitated a bit. /rant end
