Here's another one

Few poeple realize how "bullet-proof" a car is. Almost no handgun rounds can penetrate into the passenger compartment. Even some rifle rounds (like the 223) have difficulty.

I remember a case at an Air Force Base where I used to work as the media spokesman. A civilian car got onto the base and somehow ended up driving around on the runway at high speed. (It turned out later the guy was simply lost and had no clue that wide concrete wasn't a highway!)

Anyway, the AF police went into terrorist mode and opened up on the car with their M-16s. Numerous shots hit the windshield right in line with the guy's head. And every round bounced right off, deflected by the angle of the glass. They did manage to shoot his tires out, but not a single bullet made it inside the car.
