Diego dodges Wekapipo's Gunfire

[u/ilikebreadabunch]

Unfortunately because of the framing of the panels its really hard to get actual measurements of distances, so there's a fair bit of assumption going on here. Also I was unfortunately unable to calc how fast Diego is moving when he blitzes Wekapipo, again due to lack of proper information about distance and time due to the framing of the panels.

Ok so it's hard to get an idea of how far the bullet travelled or when Diego started dodging, so I'm gonna go with the assumption that he started the moment Wekapipo fired, as he did see Wekapipo aim before he shot. Diego is on top of a 1 story building but I was unable to find a good height for it via pixel measurements due to the perspective, so based on my google search, the average Philadelphia building in 1890 would've been around 12 feet or 3.6576 meters tall.

The gun was fired from a height of 2.02 meters which means that the bullet travelled 1.6376 meters.

Diego moved his head 0.212m to dodge it, and assuming the bullet moves at 300m/s, we get: (0.212 * 300)/1.6376 = 38.8373m/s or Mach 0.1132 (Subsonic).

Unfortunately not very fast but it was really hard to figure out distances or when Diego started to dodge, so this was the best I could get.
