    Reminds me of that YouTuber that convinced his pregnant partner to shoot him with a desert eagle while holding an encyclopedia in front of his chest. He died, she was sentenced to 180 days for manslaughter

      Did the bullet penetrate the book and still have enough momentum to penetrate his sternum, or did he die from the force of impact? That’s the thing about bulletproof vests too. Sure, they may stop the bullet, but it’s still going to fuck you up.

        It went through the book. I don’t know if a bullet proof vest can stop a 50 cal fired from a foot away either tbh, but definitely like you’re saying it won’t prevent injury
