Is it possible to dodge bullets

And even if you could you run into another problem. The speed of your neural network between your eyes, your brain and your muscles. Even if you know after your opponent points the gun where the bullet will hit. You still need to tell your body to move. Thta's not all of them, that is the fastest. Your human body is simply to slow. Concerning the tools A has, I didn't think of any in particular, but you can put it if it's something that could technically be made nowadays and be easily portable like the AR-headset to help predict in what direction the gun will shoot.

It's not detection that's the problem, it's reaction time. Car air bags have similar reaction times. So, bullet-dodging armor would be a harness attached to an incoming bullet-detection system. When bullets are detected, the harness could use explosive charges to move the wearer out of the way.

And then call for medical assistance, because getting moved like that is going to feel a lot like getting clubbed. People saved by airbags often have broken bones. Edit: Oo. What about an AI monitor that can watch the faces of opponents to know when they are going to fire? In this case, all the harness has to do is anticipate their aim corrections and defeat those.

You could have your Person A wear augmented reality enabled contacts or glasses, which in his field of view constantly keeps him aware of the surroundings and may possibly notify him that person B has I'll intentions, or if they're already in a standoff even better The AR will focus his attention on Person B. Looking at the attitude, expressions and movements of Person B, the AR would then warn Person A to get ready, he will be shot.

As Rekesoft said, it will then look at the muscles of Person B, and identify the type of gun to assess at what point the trigger will go off, and then at the right moment tell him to jump in the optimal calculated direction This situation assessment may give Person A a few more seconds to mentally prepare himself for this situation buying a few extra milliseconds of reaction time.

Frans Rayner : The bullets are supposed to be faster than you and you know that! Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess seems to be able to avoid harm, without trying, even in cases where everyone else gets injured, once she walked through a hail of rubber bands without getting hit once, and was completely unaffected by a massive lighting strike that destroyed the temple and left everyone else in a blackened heap.

Well, y'know — goddess. Thing is, so are the others, Belldandy on the other hand seems to either be super lucky or have unconscious probability control Assassination Classroom : Koro-sensei's most common trick, and the main thing that makes him so nigh-impossible to kill, is using his Super Speed and Super Reflexes to dodge hails of automatic gunfire.

The guy, despite admittedly being near years-old not only weaves through gunfire, but casually deflects automatic gunfire with his sword! You wonder why people even try to shoot him? Posthumans can calculate the trajectories of incoming bullets before they're even fired. This isn't shown in Bullet Time ; instead it looks like the target's body is being remotely manipulated out of the way of the bullets. The eponymous girls from the " Girls with Guns Trilogy" Noir , Madlax , El Cazador de la Bruja do this all the time, starting with the opening of the shows.
