Or a 3/4 shot with a 230g .45 from my HK... the problem with the bullet proofing idea is that the thin metal below the glass, also known as the door, will not stop a bullet. Plenty of people have been killed by a shot through the door of modern autos. So the bulletproof claim, although it may have some element of truth, is hype. A bullet proof vehicle includes armor in the doors, floor, and ceiling, firewall, and window shield. But the idea that it may slow down or deter a baseball bat in the city is a good selling point. The escape issue must be weighed against the risk of break-in. In other words, what is the chance that someone will try to break into your H2 vs. the chance that you will drive off a bridge or into a lake and drown in your H2? I am betting against the submersion thing, so it sounds like a good idea if you live in a city or where there is a high incidence of auto burglary.
