The cyber truck is more bulletproof than any normal car, there are tons of videos of it stopping handgun rounds.
For what it’s worth, my $600 hunting rifle will go clean through both sides of any bulletproof vest, and it’s nothing special.
For everything that is bulletproof, there is always a calibre of projectile that will go through it.
Some old cars bodies probably could stop small pistol rounds too.
there's a reason elon used 45 acp to "demonstrate" a round with pitiful penetrating capability
I hope so or a lot of old cop movies have some ‘splainin to do!
No, they really don’t.
Skins on cars are shocking thin.
That is why I said old cars. The cybertruck is certainly not the first vehicle to use 14 gauge steel for a door panel, they are just not going to be common to see today because we wanted all our newer cars to be lighter.
Your hunting rifle will also go through a cybertruck. Its side panels are proven on video to stop fat and slow handgun rounds like .45 ACP. I would bet pretty good money that if I took a 1911 chambered in .45 ACP and shot the doors of a 1970s steel monstrosity of a passenger sedan it would also dent and not penetrate the doors.
My '72 Dodge has the usual thin steel body panels. The panels are quite light if you remove all the stuff attached to them. I have no faith it will stop a round, and I'm not going to try it!
I.e. they are light enough to be body armor, but if they blocked bullets people would have been using them as armor for a long time now.
Heavy and thick metal doors stop slow bullets. Hurray for elon the inventor!
