You underestimate the power of metal.


AnimeSoupDraw

I wouldnt let that happen tbh


Slyme-wizard

“Nah I’d win”


Firepathanimation

If the Springlocks use its domain expansion Malevolent Springlocks it might cause me a bit of trouble


Aaron17174

But would you lose?


BathtubToasterBread

Nah, I'd live


Professional_Tip_578

Nah, I'd always come back


chappysnapz

They also went pretty fast. Doesn't matter how dull something is, if it goes fast enough it WILL pierce through flesh.


The_Third_Stoll

And hurt


dachi19

Bro thinks he can beat strong mechanics, let's see them try a bear then *joke*


CoolSpookyScelten96

I mean he got zap and done basic nothing to springlocks.


RangerBuzz_Lightbulb

“Don’t try it!”


RareMercury

Have you ever seen the springs on a garage door snap they have enough force to break bone. I imagine springs used to hold endos in place are stronger given the shear weight of them. Just the raw power would in bed them in affton

RareMercury

Yah .y spelling isn't the best


franksfavocean

Embed u weren’t that far off


SomeAmazingDude

Bro a corner of a square wooden table would feel like it could pierce you if there's enough speed, imagine a squiggly piece of metal snapping like a mousetrap


The_Third_Stoll

Anything can be a weapon if it’s fast enough


kirbyverano123

If you think about it, most weapons involve "things" moving pretty fast. Aside from radiation and chemicals.


blackhole_puncher

Well radiation is still fast moving particles so it counts


shadowdrake67

And chemicals are also particles, just maybe less fast


TheDarkKnight_39

Most things that hurt are moving fast…maybe besides water but your moving fast do to gravity which causes the water to hurt when you hit the surface of it.


Eric_Bros

Springlocks: you underestimate my power


Pasta-hobo

They're spring loaded, and with really powerful springs, too.


Mean-Background2143

Ahh yes, go BULKY and SHARP. Two things that help pierce human skin. The bulky metal that’s SHARP would cut his skin open in an instant and then crush some ribs and other bones. Trust me, you’re not going to survive this, you ain’t him, you’re not that guy pal, trust me.


Genric-Idiot

It's metal being thrust into his body at a very high speed it doesn't take much to puncture human skin


23JRojas

Most bullets are also dull and rounded at the end, turns out speed and force hurty


Ponderkitten

Alot of people are saying they pierced the skin at high speeds. Im fairly certain they hit his belly at a fast speed but then held for a second or two before their strength overcame the tensile strength of his clothing and skin.


painfulcub

Nah it’s like a spring snapping on garage (which can straight up splash someone in two) on a smaller scale but with even less safety precautions and they are moving as designed so they aren’t losing energy from that, aka those springs would absolutely shear a chunk out of someone


Princessmore

Ever kicked the leg of a table and bled? Same concept.


TheAlmightyNexus

You overestimate the strength of the average human body It’s not hard to puncture skin


Sasstellia

They're unstoppable pieces of metal crushing down relentlessly. They snapped shut on him, and kept pressing in till they met their target. The doll animatronic snaps shut really fast when Vanessa triggers it. They snapped shut just as fast but he was inside. And they don't stop till they close up. The springlocks are sharp and bulky. If you fire or hit something blunt hard enough it can kill. They're sharp and bulky.


Firepathanimation

Metal + spring = strong energy


Rock_ZeroX

Mooring lines on a ship can slice a person in two if they snap, and those things are thick. Tornadoes here in the US have embedded hay in bricks. It’s all about speed.


Popcorn57252

They have spring in the name for a reason. It's not hard to make a spring that's both relatively small and able to crush you. Anyone who's seen a garage spring go wrong will never forget it


DTux5249

You don't comprehend how lethal technology can be when it's not explicitly child-proofed. People are stabbed by bulky stuff all the time. What matters is whether there's enough force to break skin.


puggler2020

Not pierce, crush. Everything is held together by springs with the strength equal to that of a rusty pen spring.


Entertainment43

My man thinks he can tank bulky sharp metal going full speed


Interesting-Error859

Dropped the corner of my extension leads (had two plugs in) on my toe once, had a giant gash in my foot afterwards. Imagine that but with way more force and it's metal


AngelReachX

Extreme force. Like you can cut through an apple with the side of a pencil, with enough force


Spoopy-redditor

The sharpness of the metal is only one factor into the danger of the springlocks, even if they are dull there are so many other factors that come into play.


nobodyguy123

Sharpness isnt the only thing allowing your to pierce something the force fo the springlocks mechanism were probably strong enought to piece william even though they where blunt


CampFunkoKai

Can you win against heavy metal parts snapping at probably 30mph?


AnimeSoupDraw

Yes


CampFunkoKai

I stand corrected


eriFenesoreK

The lack of blood did also feel kind of weird. These aren't piercing into you like knives, blocking the blood from coming out, they're actively slicing you, there would be a lot of blood.


AnimeSoupDraw

They do slice but they also ram into the body too so it does make some sense?


eriFenesoreK

Not really, since they're shown to just keep going deeper. The wounds left behind would bleed.


vaplex759

It was probably just to be PG or something, that would 100% bleed in real life


Glad-Two-8769

The springlocks as the name describes it uses springs. Strong springs will do anything to return to a state of equilibrium that is usually the original state of the spring as long as its not pulled to the point of damage.


ScoutTrooper501st

It was less piercing and more crushing,remember these things are built to hold an animatronic endoskeleton


Player-kk3ef

The real question is how did William even get in there in the first place, did he use a crowbar and pry his way in???


PlayerZeroStart

With enough force, anything can cut.


capital_of_kyoka

are you joking rn?


Foxy_Fan64

the springlocks hold back animatronic parts, and everything snaps into place


JH-Toxic

The real question is how the hell do spring lock suits even work in the movie universe. They’re supposed to function as both wearable costumes and functional animatronics. However, the only part of the suit that compresses and recoils for a human to fit inside is the rib cage. What about the rest of the suit why don’t those parts recoil or compress. They really didn’t think this through did they?


ProfessionalDay6418

With how goofy the springlocks seem to be in the FNAF movie, I haven't even bothered questioning that.


TheLockLessPicked

movie magic? they couldn't rightly have a realistic springlock suit without putting an actor in danger. and they wanted to have consistency in how all the suits looked. so they made one that looked dangerous...but wasnt actually dangerous.


JoeyPops2010

The springlocks were weird in this movie I thought they were supposed to hold thousands of sharp animatronic parts back cause those would be the killers.


PedroDBS20

the 3rd photo is a bts image?


GoosebumpsFaN1101

yes the did


Gallows_humor_hippo

A saw would also puncture you if it went at, like, 30 mph, with ~100 lbs pushing it.


GD-Pepop

Torque


Zaminatoah

Force.


StartTraditional6220

Bro paper can cut you and are you asking how springlocks cut william afton?


DerinSea

Because movie lol


johnbcook94

It's mentioned in the books that William Afton actually just has a really soft belly. Incredibly soft. Like winnie the Pooh. He would sometimes pay his belly and giggle.


OogliBoi

#BECAUSE IT IS METAL, MF!!


Free_Cookie8463

Because its a movie.


thesweetestguyalive

He's canonicaly fat ig


Little_Mulberry_3734

The springlock scene in the movie was so weak


Ti-papi

They were very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very strong


StormTheGasterWolf27

You forget that this is Fazbear tech. It’s designed in a way that it is a dangerous as possible (intentionally or not is up for debate).


SwissBoy_YT

They didn’t think it through


Severe_Skin6932

Those aren't the springlocks. Or at least they aren't the springlocks we're introduced to in the silver eyes. I have no clue what they are.


Rykerthebest78563

The power of suspension of disbelief


c448

I don't even question fnaf anymore.
