is it to scale?

Is it to scale? What's g? Is that even Earth? How fucking big is that man? What are the specs on that gun?!

>> No.1166296

what's the speed of the bullet?

>> No.1166309

Assuming the drawing is to scale and the projectile sufficiently powerful to achieve orbit and the guy stands there, sure why not.

>> No.1166311

I don't think you could shoot yourself in the back of the head that way. In the absence of friction, it would work, given a large enough bullet velocity, but in the real world, friction would throw off the orbit if it got into orbit at all without vaporizing. In addition, the earth's rotation would screw things up.

Of course not. He'd collapse onto himself on account of being so fucking massive.

But... what if he was made of diamonds, the hardest metal known to man?


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

>> No.1166346

Obviously if that is to scale:

1. He will suffocate. He is taller than the atmosphere
2. His legs would violently explode from compression stress
3. If the bullet is not *exactly* orbit speed, it won't hit him at all.
4. We have not been told if the bullet has been dropped or fired from the "gun" - it may be simply falling vertically toward the Earth.
5. Sharks are eating his fucking ankles.

don't worry, I smirked a little
