That's the thing, if you shoot at Ember Celica, the weapons can be penetrated by bullets and cause the ammunition to explode. Same thing with melee weapons. So, if you block with your arms and legs; they're more likely to go bye bye... along with any possibility of the user remaining alive in one piece.
