    Hair. The hair on my head, near the ends, just to be exact. And from the side so the bullet does not then hit me.

        I don’t know. Isn’t the average speed of a bullet (340 m/s) under the sound barrier (343 m/s)? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it only matter how far the gun is away from you?

          The further the muzzle is from my ears, the lower the noise level I’ll experience. The projectile speed doesn’t matter.

          There are a LOT of different kinds of ammunition out there. I suppose if they get to choose what kind, they could opt for subsonic ammo (the kind that people usually use with suppressors). Otherwise, if it’s randomly selected or something, then there’s a pretty good chance that it’ll break the sound barrier.

      I was looking for this answer before I wrote the same thing. If a part of my body has to be shot, why wouldn’t I be trying to rules lawyer my way out of serious injury? Take one long hair, tape it on something that can be safely shot through at effectively point blank range, feel nothing, success!
