Anyone watch Mythbusters last night, Sunday?
They did a myth where ONE phonebook stuffed into the hollow part of a door will stop a bullet. The phone book, with the door did STOP a 9mm, 357 and 45 round, but did NOT stop a 12 gauge deer shot nor a round from an M-14 rifle.

What was interesting is that 5 phone books by themselves DID STOP the M-14 round.

Need a cheap BUT heavy system of bullet proffing, grab some phone books.

You'd need to strap 5 of them, Ximmy. haha.

That would make for a good cartoon....
