20 year old Mercedes bullet proof test

Here is an interesting test. I really do not condone putting anyone’s life at risk to test if a car is bullet proof. I am curious how they thought it was bullet proof. Did they just obtain the car on the word of the previous owner? And what would convince them to test it let alone put someone inside? They could have put balloons, watermelon or any other substitute target inside the car.
They tested the car with a 9mm. I would have tested it against other calibers to truly test its bulletproofness. Also, no one would be inside when I test it.

I had some bullet proof glass to shoot once, not actually glass, but like plexiglass and about 2 or 2.5" thick. It stopped 9 and 45 all day, just slightly scratched the surface. Then I hit it with 223 which went thru like a hot knife, and a hot loaded 45-70 with a soft nose 400g bullet which also went thru. Even at an angle of maybe 10 degrees 45-70 would still go thru so the hole was much longer than the glass was thick. Basically it seems if the glass were 6" thick the 45-70 would've still gone thru, and that was a flat soft nose, imagine a pointed copper or steel point.
The same crew did a follow-up video with more powerful calibers
