If you are in a fight with someone you know can't hurt you, how hard if at all should you hit him back.
Well if "can't hurt you" means that your body armor usually stops his bullets I would say to hit back very very hard.

It seems that in Polish it's pronounced Goo-rah Calvaria which is more similar to גור then to Ger.
