Quote:That depends on the hull. At the bottom end, waved hulls will resist pistol rounds and most rifle rounds. A .50cal bullet might be enough to pose a threat, a 20mm cannon usually is. Repeated impacts would probably cause a breech.
I mean, if an ounce-and-a-half of stel-jacketed slug from a .50 Browning machine gun is ineffective against a 'waved hull, then obviously they're not using a crowbar to pry open the airlock doors.
If any particular emphasis is made on the hull being 'tough' or bulletproof, then things like Rocket-Propelled Grenades become little or no threat and even a tank cannon will require repeated impacts. You still won't be shrugging off battleship guns, much less nukes, but there's not very much likelihood of running into those.
However, handwavium hull cutting tools exist - for that matter, airlocks can be breeched by boarders. Crew disabling devices can be adapted, if conventional weapons aren't favoured for whatever reason.
Ramming is effective for anti-ship attacks if you're small enough to catch your target and can hit them hard enough but Reavers don't profit by it so they aren't likely to use it except in extremes. The 'ramming to board' design seems like it would work.
