Yeah that's exactly the same thing. Shooting lots of people with a gun
is just as deadly as flicking fingernails at them.



It wasn't a gun, it was a bow and arrow. An ordinary bow and arrow;
but apparently you found that believable.

I think your realism detector is a bit off.



Tell ya what, we'll stand let's be generous and say 5 yards apart. I'll
take the bow and arrow, you can have as many fingernails as you like.



Stop changing the subject with inane hypotheticals.

You decided to randomly change the subject from 'can you kill people with fingernails' to 'i saw him use a bow and arrow against people with guns', I just followed along.

A valid example would be setting the world's best archer against twenty soldiers
heavily armed with machine guns. Let's see how many arrows he manages
to fire before being gunned down.

That's not a 'valid example', thats what actually happened in the comic. A man with a fork can take down innumerable soldiers depending on the combat situation, a man armed with flickable fingernails still can't. Under no circumstances can a normal human flick a fingernail through a human there are lots of easily imaginable circumstances under which a man with a bow and arrow can kill a man, or men, with guns.
