The most powerful attack?
I have had this idea of the most powerful toolless attack a human can possibly do and came up with something, that might sound ridiculous, but definitely has some truth or I should say power to it.
To really understand how I came up with this idea, I want to share with you the characteristics, that I think the most powerful attack should have.
For me its basically
the attack should be backed by the whole mass of the attacker
it should be done at insane speed
and
- the striking surface should be small so a highly concentrated energy transfer can take place
The attack I came up with could technically be done by everbody but just like with every other attack its deadliness is determined by who is doing it.
Now imagine this. You have a very brave human being, that is capable of running at olympic level sprinting speed. This might be somewhere between 40 and 44km/h. If we think about this attack being done somewhere randomly outside, probably closer to 40kmh, because the attacker lacks a bouncy track and sprinting spikes.
Sprinting itself doesn't sound really dangerous, but it becomes a very deadly thing, especially at olympic level speed, if it is not the finish line, that is aimed for, but a human being.
Now you probably can imagine, where this is going.
This very brave attacker will start accelerating. He needs a lot of room. Somewhere between 45-60m to reach his top speed. He will target his victim and aim for his head. He will make use of his most dense bone - his own skull - and hit his victim at 40km/h.
I haven't done the physics here, but I am pretty sure, that the victim won't move for a very long time if not forever.
The attacker has to make a sacrifice obviously. His own brain will definitely not thank him for this high velocity impact, but he will probably survive.
What do you guys think? Is this the most powerful attack, a human being can do without the use of tools? To make this clear, I am not talking about the quickest, the most precise attack or whatever. It's the concept of the most powerful attack. If it hits, it hits.
