I visited a Tweeter store in the Carolinas last year and was shown a 60″ Pioneer plasma TV in their dumpster which had taken a .45 slug right in the center of the screen from about eight feet away, and had not penetrated (there was a small lump on the back steel chassis). I’m guessing all the glass and multiple layers of epoxy-slathered circuit boards acted like Kevlar. The owner of the TV had been “cleaning” his gun when he saw someone on TV he didn’t like and shot him.
MrSatyre, HAHHAHA, thats awesome. What an idiot.
