Reminds me of publicised stories from WW1 of soldiers saved by their pocket bibles stopping rifle bullets. Those "bullet stopping pocket bible" stories were also thoroughly perpetuated to underline how God was clearly on our side against the evil, baby-eating Germans.
No good book will stop a rifle bullet fired at combat distances. Ricochets and shrapnel are of course a different matter.
I suspect some misunderstanding could have lingered from such stories and thus contributed to this stupid "accident".
It is always necessary to know the distance factor. I am sure even a smallish book could stop a 8 mm projectile at sufficient distance or after a ricochet. BUT he would have had to hold a number of phone books to stop a 50 AE at less than a meter. I built a range for a forensics lab once, using phone books. No problem stopping 7.62x39 at 1 m in one phone book BUT we used to layer the books end on so they didn't shred too quickly.
Very simple lesson here...Do not stand at the pointy end of a firearm And if you find yourself at the pointy end, do EVERYTHING you can to be away from that end as fast as you can!!!!!!!!
look ma a roadrunner cartoon in real life .Imagine adults who want to live their lives through their Utube exploits FFS what a shallow empty space both have for a brain(or had). i avoid social media shit when its cluttered with fucktards like this.
The world needs idiots. Watching them fuck up is how we learn not to do dumb shit.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
