So does anybody here have any theories of how durability/armor works in the anime cuz its not explained, like, at all. On one hand you have Inazuma cutting herself with a kitchen knife of all things and in the other Kongo is bouncing 16 in. shells off her hand. Some people have speculated that the clothes act like armor, but given how explosive shells work (shrapnel to everywhere that's uncovered), and the fact that Kongo wasn't wearing gloves when she deflected the shell, I think that it's implausible. So is their skin actually equivalent in protection to hundreds of mm of steel armor? Like what would happen if say someone were to shoot Yamato with 30 rounds from an assault rifle all over her body (not just the parts covered by clothes). Would the rounds bounce off or would she be just as vulnerable as a normal human? What if someone tried it when she didn't have her rigging on?

Feel free to speculate as much as you want.
