Oy. This is starting to look like a OotS forum thread. (What is the damage of a thrown pineapple?)
TheEvilDog:
Assuming the pineapple weighs 1kg and assuming the average person throws an object at between 50 to 60 miles per hour. Let's say 50 miles per hour and convert that to SI, so about 22.3 meters per second squared
Force = mass by acceleration.
The pineapple hits with a force of 22.3 Newtons!

It’s not a matter of how durable Bubbles is, but the legality of setting off a flare in a crowded bar.
OldGoat:
I do believe this is the first confirmation we have that the harpoon survived the fire! Huzzah!
Modern flexible police body armor can stop a large handgun bullet. Recall that the purpose of rifling is to make the projectile spin about its axis of roll, thereby stabilizing it in flight. That spin allows the Kevlar fibres in the armor to soak up the bullet's kinetic energy such that its forward motion ceases. Flexible body armor may be able to stop a .500 bullet, but a common ice pick will pass right through unless a shock plate of a solid material is incorporated in the vest's design.
Jeph is very aware of how this works.
Bubbles is very much aware that she's in the wrong and that Brun is acting with lawful authority.
"At this range I am likely to sustain at least some level of damage. Even if I successfully disarm the employee, I will have committed a criminal act and will likely face prosecution. I am annoyed with myself for placing myself in this awkward position. Further, her weapon a historically significant artifact truly worthy of preservation." (Bubbs does think fast.)
Jakk Frost:
Happy 4000!
And in point of fact, three more issues and it will be exactly 1000 issues since Bubbles made her first appearance as well!
