Default Laminated glass vs. pistols

Very informative test there, OP. I don't know how informative though, since getting ahold of that kind of glass won't be easy, but if we ever run across it we'll have an idea of just what it can take.

Hopefully you didn't get a mosquito bite in the back of your throat. I can't imagine how bad that'd itch.

That which doesn't kill me...probably won't kill the other guy attacking me.

Instead of banning the guns and the shiny things, just let the stupid people die. The world will be a better place because of it.

Interesting that the slug didn't fully penetrate but knocked a chunk of the last layer of glass into the cardboard.

I'm disappointed there was no beverage warning.

Remember folks, Windex should not be used on monitors.

A little of the slug made it through.

It wasn't nearly as funny to me and the mosquito.

Shooting and Lunch.
What A great day at the Range.

"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes....Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

No, we were not able to recover them. They were pulverized into powder.
