Vibranium right? Absorbs all vibrations? Okay, got it. Bullets hit it and just fall off.
Now, how does the shield itself ricochet off everything?
Or how do bad guys bounce off this thing like super balls?
>>82440486
The idea is that stuff that it comes into contact with loses no (or at least very little) energy in its collision. If it's being held still by a super-soldier, the stuff hitting it will fly off with the same force as it hit it with. If it's being thrown, it's not going to lose the momentum it had when it hit something

>If it's being thrown, it's not going to lose the momentum it had when it hit something
If it doesn't lose any or hardly any momentum when it hits something, then being hit by it wouldn't hurt
Hold up, gonna bump this.

Listen Stark, if there was anyway of you understanding it, your father wouldn't have given it to someone else who'd just use it and shut up.
You keep pulling this shit with the Pym particles as well. You're just not as smart as you think you are. You're not going to get it, and if you were, it wouldn't make your father love you either.
Now get back to the bottle, you Wombat.

CW SpoilerPeter literally calls Cap out on it, mentioning how the shield "defies physics" and that's a throwaway lineso basically "don't think too hard about it"
"that shield doesn't obey the laws of physics at all"

Maybe the rim is coated in an "opposite vibranium" that reflects all vibrations instead of absorbing them, allowing it to bounce of everything it hits with the edge while stopping everything that hits the dome
>>82440486
The shields behaviour for something hitting its surface differs from something hitting its edges due to the molecular strukture of the vibranium alloy.
>>82440486
Because it's not real.

Someone sjould really do a "vibranium! ain't gotta explain shit" edit with BP at this point.

I think you knew it already existed and was just askign for someone to post it

It was probably somewhere in my subconscious.I have seen it before.
Thanks either way.

What would happen if Ant-Man used one of his discs to make Cap's shield huge?
>>82445139
something completely fictional probably
>>82440486
In the Winter Soldier commentary, the writers admit it's whatever they need at the moment. It's magic, basically. I like to see it as the front absorbing all the vibrations/momentum and then transferring that energy to the sides (except when it's cooler not to do that.)
I always thought it was a combination of the alloy and the way Cap threw it. In the comics few people can actually make the shield ricochet like Cap does, so I assume it has something to do with him throwing it at an angle using Geometry and physics or some shit.
If he throws it incorrectly it goes through the surface like in >>82443481
>>82440486
If it absorbs all kinetic energy, how can anyone move it?
>>82445559
That makes the most sense. It would explain the horizontal shockwave when Mjolnir hit it in The Avengers.
>>82442673
well that's what vibranium is a metal that defies physics
>>82445948
Has Cyclops ever thrown Cap's Shield?? since Cyclops is suppose to have some crazy spatial geometry talent as the reason why he can target his beams so that they bounce around forever i was wondering if he could bounce Cap
s shield around like crazy too
>>82440486
It's the cinnamon swirls.
>>82442574
I think he's saying that the shield doesn't transfer any energy period, and that because of that, being hit by it would not hurt.
>>82445948
I thought the ricochet thing was all Cap. Steve being a supersoldier with perfect vision, accuracy, reflexes, and an analytical brain can in a second perfectly calculate the trajectory of the shield and what surfaces it needs to bounce off and at what speed and can then throw it with the exact speed, aim, and power necessary to pull it off.
could Saitama break cap's shield?
I say yes
1) saitama punches really hard
2)the gas between his fist and cap's shield is compressed immensely, until it undergoes nuclear fusion
3)in the process of fusion, neutrons are released, bombarding the shield with neutron radiation
4)the released neutrons react with the vibranium's nuclei, forming new and unstable isotopes
5)some of the unstable atoms in the vibranium decay, creating flaws in the crystal structure
6)the vibranium shatters, releasing its energy
>>82448380
Fuck off.
>>82448323
But OP is saying that if it absorbs all vibrations and diffuses force, ie stopping bullets, then what's the difference between something hitting it and it hitting something else? There isn't a difference in terms of physics, but there is a difference in terms of story.
