If that proposal isn't enough to change your mind, then I can't wait to hear your thoughts after the fact, once your broken ribs have healed up.

Yes, bruising and possibly even broken ribs but why don't people die when all that energy is "dumped". I've yet to hear anyone in this thread say that energy doesn't do damage...that's been proven time and time again with temporary wound channels. It's just not the magic that some figure. Bruising and broken ribs are a long ways from stopping your heart or brain. It's not a case of whether energy does damage, of course it does. It's case of the degree of damage and your bulletproof vest example proves that nicely.
