If you shot a gun out of someone's hand, would it break?
I see this happen all the time in movies and comics and shit and I'm curious as to weather or not you could actually use a gun after it's been hit by a bullet? I'd assume it would get dinged at the very least.
It'll be time to get a new peashooter. Even with a .22, the barrel or components would get bent causing it to miss fire, become unusable, or destroyed out of repair. Unless you shot in the right place of a rifle with a .22, hitting any actions would cause the gun to fail.
It could keep working fine, work with some problems, or get completely fucked, depending on what part of what gun you shot with what bullet.

Some parts are durable enough it could bounce off, some parts still work with a hole in them.

The gun is almost guaranteed to be completely inoperable.
The gun in this video was blasted to pieces: https://youtu.be/Aeoca-VmpcM

Pretty much everything besides the bolt and barrel of a firearm is just made of thin steel or aluminum. None of that will stop a bullet, and the bolt still wouldn't survive a direct bullet impact either.
The only hope is if the round is fired at a very shallow angle and ricochets.
Somewhat related story, I remember there was a French special forces officer who was fired at by a terrorist while he had his pistol up, and the round struck right on the front of the guide rod of his P228 and exited near the back of the frame. The gun essentially saved his life, but it basically exploded and permanently crippled his hand.
