Seems to me I've seen enough videos where the front windshield has been shot on a vehicle, and the bullet has not penetrated the glass. I don't know if a handgun round can penetrate windshield glass if shot perpendicular to the glass, but I do know that if there's enough of an angle you'd better be able to pull some Matrix moves to avoid getting hit when it ricochets.

This is why I want to do this. I want to know what my gun/ammo will or wont do in case I need to get er done.

Besides, its always fun to shoot something besides paper targets.:dude:

cool link.

July 4, I fired 2 rounds inside/out through the door, hollowpoints, one exited, the other hit the crash beam, and made quite a dent.

the most important thing I learned from the link,was the deflection through the windsheild, I actually had it figured the other way.
