You can like slam it against the wall and it still plays music.
BTW, this wouldn't have mattered if they supplied their troops with actual Body Armour, none of this cheap stuff they are using.

Yeah but remember the AK fires a short 7.62 round (Unlike say, the SVD which fires 7.62 long so the bullet travels faster) - but still, it ain't pistol ammo. But from what i've read U.S Body armour and even their helmets can stop AK bullets.Des.Kmal wrote:
wow.... an ipod stopped(slowed ) a 7.62mm bullet down? wow.
The guy would've probably been fine without the Ipod.

Apparently, there was a case where an Xbox stopped a 9mm bullet.

Well, technically a few feet is also inches away. It's just a matter of how many.Kmarion wrote:
