the i-pod most likely deformed the round so that the energy was dispersed. If it wasn't for the i-pod, I imagine the bullet would have penetrated.]]>Apr 5th 2007 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/

I know a lot of people in the military... not a single one of them isn't a prankster... I guess when you are forced to live with a bunch of other dudes on a boat or in the desert for 6 months, you have nothing else to do... about 3 people I know immediately popped into my head when I read this and I thought "Oh, any one of these three would have done this, its brilliant."]]>Apr 5th 2007 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/Apr 5th 2007 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/Apr 5th 2007 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/Apr 5th 2007 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/Apr 5th 2007 8:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/Apr 6th 2007 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/Apr 6th 2007 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/05/ipod-takes-bullet-for-soldier/
Terminal ballistics is my job, and I can tell you without a doubt that a SAPI plate will quite easily stop a 7.62x39 round, even at muzzle velocity.
