On my dad’s mission, his friend was going to get attacked by a dog, so he kicked said dog and, due to it being a small dog, it more or less flew.
Most of what you said makes sense to say in this thread, but not ‘inevitable.’ There are also guns. That too.
My dad was in the marines and either him or someone with him missed a tank with their gun and turned a sheep into place pink mist. They got in trouble after that.
Guns can be… terrifying.
On the topic of guns and this thread, ones that are powerful enough have a chance to turn either you or weakish enemies into a fine mist, similar to that one sheep.
