We all have to make our little sacrifices...What is the AV of a human body anyway? Is there any truth to what we called Marines at the 82nd (self-propelled sandbags)?

According to most action movies I've seen, pretty high. The goodguys are always using baddy redshirts to soak up loads of bullets from their baddy pals, usually at short range. The hero rarely even gets scratched.

"Meatshield" = AV 2

Again going back to density:

Average Human body = 1010 kg/m³

So at the same thickness little more than half a sandbag.

And as it takes a couple of properly packed sandbags to stop a 7.62N round....

Human AV = not enough to count much.

Damn! So much for that human-body Chobham variant I was working on in my garage -- now what do I do with all the bodies of my victims?
