indeed. After it hits you about 4 or 5 times, it is going to have lost a significant amount of its energy. It will also likely have deformed a bit, and no longer track cleanly through the aligned portals.

Most likely outcome?  Hits you a few times, then embeds into the wall at the edge of the portal.

Handgun bullets can't do that, no. Not unless you're storing compressed gas canisters in your joints or something. If you're the world's unluckiest person and there's a shotgun involved, maybe.

At least, I'm pretty sure. Please, nobody link me to proof that I'm wrong, although feel free to correct me.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yeah, a .50 cal rifle is the one that looks less like it belongs in a persons hands and more like it belongs on a small tank.

That's because it typically *IS* what is on the machine gun turret of a tank....

.50cal is intended for use against light troop transport vehicles. Moderate armor piercing capability; intended for use against heavily armored infantry and light vehicles.

Tank cannon is intended for heavy armored vehicles and buildings.

If you aim it just right, you'll hit the back of the gun.

Unless you go with what they started loading the Barret .50 with recently.
Remember the bullet itself is about half a foot long.
The tip (about 1~2 inches) was changed from solid metal to and explosive tip made specifically for blowing a hole in walls/tank armor and the back of the bullet was filled with tungsten balls that shotguned into the room behind said wall/armor.
What if this bullet was used?
(Recap what it does, explodes on impact then releases tungsten pellets like a shotgun))
Would that be able to create a blood mist cloud from person?

Doubtful. If it was designed to blow up upon impact in walls, it might well not trigger at all while piercing soft tissues.

What if it impacted your thigh bone or skull? IIRC those are the hardest bones we've got

What do you need the portals for in that case, though?

Explosive vests are easier.

Also, living bone is kind of soft and gummy...
