[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5539393, member: 19675"] Not sure which story we're talking about, bit the Dresden story I'm thinking of, the magic of his duster saves him from a sniper...just. "If Buzz had shot me six inches lower, only a single layer of leather would have been between the round and my hide.* A few inches higher, and it would have taken me in the neck, with absolutely no protection. And if he'd waited a quarter of a second longer, until my foot had descended to the first step leading down to my door, he would have sprayed my brains all over the siding of the boardinghouse." This in a story in which he was already aware of danger and on guard. * Harry is examining where a high-caliber sniper round was flattened against the inner collar of his jacket. The sniper round passed through one layer of magic-reinforced leather, only to be stopped by a second. As it was, it still incapacitated him to the point that the sniper was almost able to finish him off. [/QUOTE]
