Penquin47:
What was boundary-crossing about Dora asking Faye how things went with Sven? Faye's her best friend, Sven's her brother, she knows their history, how is checking to make sure things didn't go horribly boundary-crossing?
BenRG:
It's boundary crossing in the same way making a fuss over Faye leaving earlier would be boundary crossing: If Faye needs Dora's help with Sven, she'll ask. More importantly, if Faye and Sven had a collision, I'm pretty sure Sven would have told Dora about it so there isn't a reason to pry other than paranoia about him.
FWIW, I'm sort of writing from Faye's perspective here; I don't necessarily think that it's really boundary crossing from my own perspective.

If you don't want to be threatened with a harpoon, don't use fireworks in a bar.

--- End quote ---
Faye said that Bubbles could probably stop everything up to .500" Magnum although she's hardly a technical expert in this area; she was just making a point via exaggeration.
In practice, yes, if the harpoon is sufficiently honed, it will definitely cut the derma but I suspect that Bubbles has a layer not unlike chainmail underneath (but with much smaller links) that protects her inner workings.

Like butcher's mail?
The size of the links doesn't really matter as much, as how they've been closed, with a harpoon stabbing. Though the gauge and material do count for something as well.
Case:
I figure that Bubbles' remark about not wanting to damage an antique is less in reference to the quality of her armour than to the speed & strength of her chassis.
