Where is there any indication that none of the guns that the gangers in Peach Tree were using armour-piercing ammo? I recently edited Armouris Useless, because it states "Judge armor doesn't actually seem capable of stopping bullets, even from guns that it rightfully should. An MP 5 sub-machine gun goes through the armor like paper, and Anderson (by all appearances) takes a hit from a pistol. The only time an armor-piercing round was needed was to shoot through a wall." It was reverted back to what it stated earlier.

Maybe it's just me, but if I knew that the Judges were packing some pretty serious body armour, I'd be finding ways to obtain armour-piercing ammo. It may not be the same material as what the Judges are using in their Lawgivers for their AP Rs, but hey, it's better then nothing.

Also, unless they're making the body armour worn by Judges out of something incredible, ballistic fiber, especially Kevlar; can be breached at a close range by subguns like the MP 5. If they are using AP Rs, then that definitely reinforces that occurrence.

I don't get why some people are criticising Dredd for not trying to shoot the guys manning the 3 Gatling guns aiming at him. The guns were already spinning up. He had time to take down at most a couple of them. Other people could have taken over. And even if he tried to switch to his incendiary round, he'd have no time to aim and fire before getting ripped to shreds. Looks like a case of unrealistic superhero expectations meeting tactical reality.

Anyone else think the Slo-Mo drug/related effects served mostly to add ten minutes of padding and a chance to show off some decent SFX?

I would disagree with the padding. Most people think Slo-Mo fits within the Dredd universe.

And yeah it gives a chnace to show off some cool SFX.

Moved Anti Climax Boss to YMMV.

Also, fixed Example Indentation, and deleted misuse of tropes, in particular:
