Impressive. These things are really well built. I've seen a video on jewtube of that FullMag guy shooting iPhone with a .50 cal and the thing doesn't disintegrate... there's only a large hole in it. He shot a bunch of other phones as well with it but they shattered to pieces.

So sad, could be one less roach.

lucky the lithium battery didn't ignite from thermal runaway.

We actually shot up a Samsung phone at a /k/ meet once (with battery removed) and it completely stood up to buckshot, 9mm, .45, etc. All of which was stopped by the gorilla glass, not the body of the phone itself, which was useless. Only 2 penetrations were 5.56mm and 8mm Mauser. Range was ~25m.
Insofar as I know an Apple phone would be built roughly the same way. Gorilla glass is no joke. Shit's strong.

Judging by the pic we have a frontal impact on the glass with the bullet passing through and blowing out the back, which is peeled open. That looks like one of our two rifle impacts. Therefore, I believe that the guy was shot with a rifle but perhaps at much longer range. Bullet still passed through bending up the back of the case but must have lost a good chunk of it's velocity and began fragmenting in the process, thereby potentially saving the victim's life.

Would making armor out of gorilla glass be a possibility?

.50 cal or lower that has ricocheted or lost enough velocity to not penetrate a thin aluminum and glass device that is 1/2 an inch thick.

It would be pretty phoned-in.

Sadly this cheaply made Toshiba didn't save the life of it's owner

One of the Iraqi army Instagrams posted a photo the other day of a dude saved by his Samsung phone.

There was a guy who, no joke, dropped his phone from almost ten thousand feet up out of his private plane, and the damn thing worked. They're pretty rugged.

Is Dick Cheney hunting again?

Well, a smarphone is pretty light, so it won't accelerate past a certain speed. Dropping it from 100m would have had the same effect.

Apple can't do anything right.
Failing to stop the round completely is just another failure on the list

What is it with Wilsons that they have a propensity of throwing things out of planes?

I've dropped mine in the toilet once. It was completely submerged for a second or two, until I fished it out. It worked fine.

>>30171680

Too bad it didn't kill that Turkish stink nigger, another reason to hate apple.

>>30177247

That is common for most modern electronics. If you submerge something, just turn it off and put it in uncooked rice.

Fun fact: you can throw anything out of your plane legally as long as it does not cause property damage.
