Are you kidding me? If you shoot someone in the arm with a shotgun, there’s a very good chance I could mangle your arm or actually rip it off if point blank. Moreover, yes, the head can be decapitated depending on the sniper rifle, and yes the head can be blow open and explode defending on the sniper rifle. But considering the sniper rifle in gears is fictional and futuristic, and considering you can only get an instant kill via a head shot, maybe that weapon is designed for headshots. And a grenade and other explosives can definitely blow someone into pieces.

Well I guess nobody has ever told you the truth, but people’s heads don’t pop off from sniper shots and peoples limbs don’t blow to pieces because of a shotgun

How is people being decapitated, more like having their head explode, and people being blown to pieces not realism? That’s what happens in war. It’s a meat grinder. Moreover, when I said realism I meant not sunshine’s, bright colors, and pink weapons, I meant depressing dark and creepy scenes, I meant seriousness. Now as for the down but not out, wallbouncing and lancer shots, that’s just a mechanic. But things like bright lights and rainbows and pink weapons are not. I already told you the kind of realism I want just in case you didn’t get it. I gave example like that of Saving Private Ryan and The Last Of Us.

Because shooting peoples heads off and blowing people to pieces is realistic right? Of course their muscles are pretty realistic too, and so it wallbouncing and taking tons of lancer shots just to get down and heal instantaneously when a friend touches you….

Oh please, this series is the FARTHEST thing from realistic (and that’s what makes it special)
