How would you “gently guide the attack away" when you’re being hit with a car? I don’t think a fly could guide my fist away, how could someone with a strength of 20 “gently guide the attack away" when they’re being punched by someone with a Strength of 300. If they’re only stepping away, that’s a dodge.

What’s the difference between a bullet and a thrown weapon that’s travelling as fast or faster?

An exact point, no, better guidelines, yes.

Yeah but the sentence was easier to write that way.
