Touchscreen can withstand 9mm bullet
Published: January 26th, 2009
Engadget are reporting that Vissumo touchscreens can take a couple of 9mm rounds and still be functional.
Go watch the video at Engadget, it is very impressive.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

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.
the guy on the video is such a bad shot!
