Yeah my dad always like to tell a story about when he was in Vietnam. Talking with a helo crew on a UH1 Huey, and one of the grunts that was going to ride it was behind the door, jabbing about how good cover it would be. The pilot walked up and punched a ballpoint pen through the door. Can't feel to big n bad around something that flimsy.

Hmmm I'm sure you'd feel pretty big and bad, until the war head punched through your armor, and you were set ablaze by the molten metal.

You know what happens though when someone makes batter guns then the other guys ganna make better body armor.
