I don't have any video or anything like that, It's more a collection of experiences from shooting stuff and then looking at it and seeing what it did, I can take some pics You guys will like what happens to car hoods when shot they dont go through but warp this divit in it and bounces off the metal stretchs it's really crazy looking

I spend a lot of time plinking and shooting assorted crap and several of them are old cars, ovens, refrigerators, windshields, bascially a lot of junk but none the less many of them are metal. I can tell you birdshot sometimes has trouble killing birds and bullets go through almost everything passing through a windsheild or a door is easy and if the bullet doesn't go strait in, it bounces around until it runs out of juice makes weird dents/pits in the metal parts it doesn't penetrate I've always had bullets go through the 1st windsheild but sometimes they get caught in the rear windshiled, When shooting tires the bullet will some times blow through and then some times bounce all over the place and not come out and you can recover it later . what I'm saying is many many things can be used for concealment but there are very few that can be used as cover, trees I've found are probably the most effective bullet stoppers, reviewing stuff in this manner really brings to light the use of frangible ammo in the home were over penetration could kill a loved one just like the bad guy you aimed at and hit first. Armoring your house and car is expensive!!! You can't just steel plate it all up, the incredible weight added means other stuff need to be changed, I'm not opposed to it at all it's just some serious cash, Suburban $40 grand an Armored Suburban $140 grand
