    FWIW, IIRC it’s only bulletproof to subsonic 9mm. If you’re using normal range ammo (115gr), it’s not going to stop the bullet. It’s definitely not going to stop any rifle more powerful than a .22lr.

    And super-rigid body panels are actually a bad thing; it likely doesn’t have crumple zones, which means that more energy is going into the passengers in a crash.

      I was punching holes in much thicker steel yesterday with .223 and .45ACP. LOL, if even a fat, slow .45 will get it done, about anything will.

        Fat, slow .45 ACP punches though because it’s heavy. They start at about 230gr v. the 115gr for 9mm.
