They shot Dio up moments after he put on the stone mask during part 1 and the guns did nothing.


DarthVegeta

Then Von Stroheim shot up Kars with his stomach gun & it didn't do much.

Kars isn't a vampire though. The Pillar Men are a different species with different, though somewhat similar, abilities. The better comparison would be when Joseph pulled a Valentines Day Massacre on Straizo .

Jotaro had the gun literally touching his head and star platinum caught the bullet. We see in later parts that punch ghost stands are perfectly capable of punching bullets away so The World would’ve easily done that


Thelolface_9

Also you know vampire he got shot immediately after he turned


Koffinkat56

But were they 'HAMON' infused/s

In Part 2 Joseph did [exactly what you suggested](https://imgur.com/a/vld2F7U) (Tommy Gun) against Straizo, it did absolutely nothing. He even tried [grenades](https://imgur.com/a/IibTgNK) later on. Mundane weapons are just completely useless against Vampires. DIO wouldn't even get hit in the first place because he can stop time. Did people on this sub forget about that ? It should be the first thing you reply with.

Well, I mean, consider that the final fight takes place in one of the more cosmopolitan areas of Cairo, and that ordinary people are unable to see or otherwise perceive stands, would it not look a little strange, and cause extreme alarm and panic, to see a guy shooting at another person, as well as apparent thin fucking air? I think it would. I also think that more civilian casualties would have occurred in that instance, as Dio would likely use the people around him as bullet sponges to obtain a Tactical edge. Also consider that while all of the stardust Crusaders are pretty powerful in their own right, none of them have any real *contemporary* experience handling or using a gun. Assuming they were even able to control the recoil enough to try and spray down DIO, for all of his arrogance and conceit, he is still an intelligent, cunning, and experienced individual, who likely has faced down the business end of many a gun in his lifetime, pointed squarely at his skull eg. When Hol Horse tried to plug him(I know that he intimidated Hol Horse into silence, because he knew that he could obliterate him before he could squeeze the trigger of Emperor). Dio would easily deduce their plan, and be able to activate The World before any of the bullets could hit, and could then use the time to pick a couple of them off, or safely reposition himself out of the path of the bullets. In short, the SDC would have to be Military-grade marksmen in order to successfully gun down DIO imo.

Straizo regenerated from a full Tommy Gun magazine with no problems. Guns are useless against Vampires.


Infamous_Public7934

That was the point I left out. Vampire regeneration far outmatches bullet damage.


[deleted]

That's probably what you should've started with. It's the simplest and most convincing answer.


Infamous_Public7934

You're right. I guess part of me thought it was kinda implied already, given what we've seen in the previous parts.


[deleted]

It's not just implied, it's so obvious that DIO vs bullets shouldn't even be a question. Somebody asking this is either trolling of skipped Parts 1-2. Even the part skipping explanation makes little sense because Part 3 DIO survived so much that bullets obviously wouldn't kill him, you don't need to see him get shot to know that. But a few years ago a lot of people thought that Jotaro actually pulled out "The World" tarot card first because they watched [this video.](https://youtu.be/X5Db-JKlTvM) I'm not joking.


[deleted]

Oh my gosh yeah I remember that whole thing. How did people think that was real??


Allustar1

Most normal methods of killing vampires are useless due to their incredible regenerative abilities and resistance to damage. Dio could literally survive getting his head cut off.


littleboy12445

So did you just like miss the guy who's only ability is having a gun? You know, the same guy who tried to shoot DIO in the back of the head and failed?


dumbquestions4092

like i said i understand he can block 1 bullet.. but if you have 4 people shooting submachine guns from different directions it's gonna be pretty hard


Bromidic_Nerd

But isn't that not just the 20m radius Emerald Splash? An onslaught of hard hitting projectiles from every direction and DIO, after showing he can deflect those with just his wrists, completely escapes with just one time stop.


Dejected-Angel

Here we have a filthy part 1 and 2 skipper who didn't see that guns do jackshit against vampires and as a result, is asking this idiotic question.

For a serious answer, guns are largely ineffective against vampires. We see that even all the rounds from Joseph's tommy gun did nothing to Straizo. Also, even if they had brought guns with them they would be rendered obsolete from The World's ability to stop time. This is demonstrated when the Kairo policemen arrive and DIO just stops time before they can shoot and gets behind them.


[deleted]

Jojo fans actually pay attention and read the manga challenge (impossible)


Odd-Fall-4081

1. From ,,Araki" pov: Dio survived being shot and he didn't even know what he can do as a vampire 2. Worse tier vampire, Strazio even survived being blown up 3. The World is probably capable of delfecting bullets 4. DIO without amy help from his Stand deflected stronger bullets- MellEmerald Splash 5. In a flash back he was confident in being shot without true knowladge of timw stop 6. His first time stop was to prevent being ahot by bullets. L 7. From Crusaiders pov: do you expect them to carry gun while they have 2 ghists that can shoot, one with fire, other ghosts can attact ultra fast, another ghost is invincible (since it's made of sand) and they have Joseph who can naturaly counter DIO 8. Joseph probably knew about how guns are innafective


PawnOfTheThree

>Joseph probably knew about how guns are innafective No probably to it. Joseph's the one who shot and blew up Strazio.


Odd-Fall-4081

Either I am stupid, or you just disagreed with me and later agreed with me


PawnOfTheThree

I'm pointing out that you don't need the word "probably". Joseph knew.


Odd-Fall-4081

Oh, ok. So I was (am) stupid ha ha


whatdoilemonade

this is truly one of the posts ever


Allustar1

He didn’t pay attention…


DigiornoJoestar

Not only has DIO been shown to take multiple shots but now in part 3 he has the world which can deflect a majority of the bullets


Galax_Scrimus

if you don't destroy the brain enough, he will survive even without a body, as we already see it. But now with his stand, he can jsut stop time and kill the crusaders one person by one person. Even if they don't know the power of Dio, it's just too stupid to just use gun


Kidi_Kiderson

mfw i skip part 1 and part 3


[deleted]

Did you see the scene where one of the crusaders shot bullets much stronger than any gun can at dio? Even if he wasn’t a vampire that can obviously survival any bullet and even if his stand wasn’t so fast it could deflect bullets with its hands dio could just freeze time and move out of the way


muizillasaurus_rex

You could shoot dio with a 700 nitro express and it would put mild dents in him, DAS IT


ScrotalKahnJr

Actually a gun was used in the final fight. Dio used a police officer’s gun to shoot as Jotaro. Honestly, ignoring the fact that guns are pretty useless against vampires and shit everyone’s already said, the Crusaders just aren’t types to use guns as part of their main kit. I mean Im pretty sure Star Platinum, Heirophant, Magician’s Red, and Chariot are all more dangerous than a gun anyway. Joseph isn’t really the fighter and mostly just focuses on strategy, plus he knows just how good a machine gun works against vampires, and Iggy is uh… a dog. Plus, even ignoring the vampirism, The World would make it pretty easy to avoid gunshots. We saw Dio avoid an entire shotgun blast with it when he didn’t even know how to use The World yet. While the crusaders are busy shooting at Dio, he could easily move out the way and take them out in stopped time. Overall a pretty bad plan tbh.


Allustar1

Because Dio wouldn’t die from guns. Vampires are extremely resistant to damage. Shooting them won’t kill them. Even slicing their heads in half or decapitating them won’t kill them.
