Did they not even think to test it first by using an identical book and not standing behind it? Or to use kevlar as a back-up just in case?

If they used a 9mm he might have been okay, but they had to use a goddamn .50 caliber magnum pistol.

She fired from about a foot away with a .50-caliber Desert Eagle handgun while he held the book to his chest.


This is a massively stupid idea, but why on Earth wouldn't they have used a smaller calibre...

Even if the idiot had worn a Kevlar vest designed to prevent penetration of the bullet, AND had used a thick book like a Handbook of Chemistry & Physics, it wouldn't have been enough against a .50 caliber handgun round (AFAIK, the smallest is a .50 AE -- easily 50% more force than a .44 Magnum). The idiot would still have received substantial injury -- and probable death -- just from the blunt force trauma.

Darwin Award winner there.

It's just really hard to imagine the level of braindead you have to be to carry out this stunt.

As a comparison, if I'm going away for a few days and I'm not sure what the weather will be like, I'll look up various weather reports. I'll keep checking it as the date nears. I'll take several different layers and coats just in case. And an umbrella. All just to stop myself getting slightly cold and slightly wet.

But these guys...they decided that no amount of research or testing or safety precautions would be necessary for getting shot in the fucking chest.

How...just how.

Actually... they did. They apparently test fired into other books and the bullets didn't go through.

So what happens to pregnant women who go to prison?

Do they give birth at the prison? They can't take a newborn away from it's Mom right? Does the baby just gotta stay at the jail with the mom or does the mom get to leave to take care of the baby? <_>

You know why there are some many gun deaths in America? Because people treat guns like they are fucking toys. THEY ARE MADE TO KILL, UNLESS YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DIE DO NOT POINT A GUN AT IT EVER.
