That looked pretty bullet proof to me...He shot it with a bullet, it stopped said bullet...and he's still alive...there's your proof.
Not sure why some people think the term "bulletproof" is synonymous with "bullets can never make it through this object...ever." </div></div>
Buy his product, an let me have one shot at it, while you set behind it, if you think it's all that? There is a major difference between resistant, an proof.
AK rounds being defeated, are not even close to the last word in a viewable protection product. A 30-06 AP is only a level 8 threat, an that is so dated, it's not even funny. </div></div>
I think you're not understanding my statement. Where does the idea that "bullet proof" means that no bullets large or small with ever make it through this material come from? I guess I'm just too analytical.
The way I see it, if something proves to stop a bullet, does that not make it "bullet proof"? just because a "bullet proof" object stops one, two, a hundred bullets, doesn't mean that the next one or a bigger one will not go through it...
I swear I saw a show a few years ago that explained where the term bullet proof came from. It was when an armorer was building steel armor, after finishing it, he would shoot it with a bullet leaving a big ass dent. He would then display it for sale as being "bullet proof" because it showed proof of stopping a bullet.
I could have dreamed that up though.
