      It's cool until it's not... I had a similar build in Uni, played defensive end for 2 different D1 schools. Shirts don't fit right, especially jackets or anything long sleeve, and weird things are difficult like reaching back for the seatbelt, my shoulders and arms made it so I had to rotate in the seat and grab it with the other arm or ask the person in the back to push it up to my hand. It wasn't as bad as some dudes there were a few guys that couldn't even wipe their ass. But it was annoying enough to want to slim down.

If they were for transparency, they would've pointed it out, and conducted the experiment with more rounds directly on the compromised glass. You could even save face, and say that technology has gotten better with the glass, which is apparent in the video.

    not for nothing but the black Mercedes passenger front window was taken out by two rounds. they never addressed this in the video, just the door and soft shell of the frame of the windows.
    it was clear as day compromised ( front passenger window on black Mercedes) and the 50 Cal window test was never shown from the reverse side of the glass. I understand these vehicles are very well armored but if a potential client was to see this video they would have second thoughts about this video and the lack of addressing the fails I pointed out in this video.

      It's a false sense of security. Anyone who can't access the occupants thinks one dimensionally. Shoot the tires and radiator, pour a gallon of diesel on the car, and light it up. You will get out the vehicle real fast when you start cooking. Heck you don't even need the diesel. Buy a 4 pack of road flares for $5, and put one under each tire and again, you will come out, or cook. Now you might say, "but you can drive on flats, we won't just sit there and get killed". Sure, but that's why you shoot the radiator too. You can slowly drive off for a little bit, but you will overheat and friction lock the motor in about 5 minutes, and with flats, you will be easy to keep up with. Once the motor stops, fire up the barbecue!

      @@user-oy9zy4ds9m nice try, I was a mechanic for 25 years, you can't "armor" a radiator. You clearly don't understand how a radiator works. It has to have unrestricted airflow through it or it won't cool the engine properly. Even a lot of bugs in your radiator can be enough to cause cooling issues. If you stuck armor plating in front of the radiator, you would block all air flow to it, and your vehicle would over heat in 5 minutes and ruin the motor. So no, you can armor plate a radiator.
      Also read up on "run flat" tires. They are not designed to drive at high speeds without air. Last time I read about them you could only do maybe 45 mph tops. Anyone will easily keep up with you doing 45 mph until your engine overheats from the radiator being punctured. So technically, run flats would help a little, but you are still going to be in trouble if you don't find a police station to get to in 5 minutes or so before your car overheats.

    I’m no weapons expert, but I do know a bit about physics.
    All their tests were done at an angle which means the bullet richoches/bounces off. Not delivering the full penetrating force to the glass. They should do it straigh on as a would be shooter would. No assasin would do it at an almost impossible angle, to be able to hit a target. If I were the shooter (I’m not one 😉) I would do it straight on where I could see the ”target” clearly.
    So the test should have been done straight at an 90 degree angle.
