So for comparison sake, if you shoot me in the chest, and I was smart enough to wear a bulletproof vest to "lessen the impact", then it's more acceptable?
Overdramatization aside, just because Smith is able to get his hands up, doesn't make the
intent of the hit any better.
I think he won't get more than 2. Probably just one.
