Books are bulletproof

[Excalibur]

I'm still wondering how he could afford a 50 cal Desert Eagle. At 22, I could barely afford college

Probably borrowed from one of the 30 onlookers that could have stopped this silly tragedy. I often notice how people much younger than myself, who also work at a fast food restaurant have full sleeve tattoos, and flat screen t.v.'s, that cost more than my damn car...

If he had spent it on college he might not have publicly proven his ultimate level of stupid. He should have joined the Army or Marines and learned what it really means to be shot at then he wouldn't have been so eager to create a spectacle by being shot at. He won his stupid prize.

Why not test that theory on a book placed in front of a safe backdrop and see if its true before you stand behind the book

This is what I heard on the radio .....

 

[SSGSAD]

"[FONT=&amp]She used a .50-caliber Desert Eagle firearm which authorities recovered from the grass near the house."

I'd be curious to know what the book was...[/FONT]

The radio, said an encyclopedia .....

 

[SSGSAD]

"The 4 Rules of Gun Safety"

KNOW your backstop, and what is behind it .....

 

[HoughMade]

Also you would assume that someone owning a stack of encyclopediae would be smarter than that.

As a kid, I used to read encyclopediae for fun, on a regular basis.

It shows.

 

[HoughMade]

Test volume: "S"

Volume used for the stunt: "X"

 

[JDG]

From what i have read, it was a large encyclopedia. They did test it using a different gun and the bullet went in, but did not come out. No word to what the test gun was though.

I was wondering which letter, was thick, and thin .....

Thanks .....

"I shot it twice with a .25 and it didn't go through...that adds up to .50 right?"

That, and his backstop was the 4 rules, which would only be 1 page thick, and insufficient.

So when are they going to upload the video? I'm guessing it would get a ton of views.

Yes, and he did use the correct plural.
Nerd.

Very sad. But play stupid games win stupid prizes.

What's either funny or sad (your choice) is that in the past I have used water soaked phone books to emulate ballistic gel. They were essentially "bulletproof" as the bullet didn't exit the last one. Maybe they saw that and thought everything book related was. I never shot one with a .50 AE though.

Keywords. You used multiple phone books which are probably thicker alone than the single book they used. Plus, and this is important, you DIDN'T (I assume) use a human being as a backstop.

True and my ex-wife was out of town! LOL (Plus never assume. Google the formation of the word and you'll see why)

I think your ex being out of town just meant she didn't do what this couple did with YOU as the backstop! Haha! I am well aware of the formation of that particular word. I've also lived up to that formation too often!
