Everyone wants to be tall, but they forget that Goliath went down after being hit with a pebble.
With apologies for the pedantry, the sling stone was more likely "from the size of a billiard ball to a tennis ball.” and capable of “slightly less stopping power than a .44 magnum cartridge.”
So yeah, being tall doesn't stop you from going down from the equivalent of being shot in the head..
To a giant, that's a pebble. 😌
most pistol bullets are pebble sized for humans
