good protection for the crew

It's completely unarmored. Unless your concern is sunburn, inclement weather, or possibly indecent exposure, it isn't gonna provide much by way of protection.

Also, nothing like having to check whether the post I'm reading is from !Ukraine@sopuli.xyz, !NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works, or !NotTheOnion@lemmy.world. 2024, man.

I think the "bulletproof" claims are vastly over hyped. It can block 9mm and that's about it. Rifle rounds can easily penetrate it lol.

The same is true for the door panels of a 70's car

Rifle rounds are often way more penetrative than people realize.

Not even bullshitproof.

What do you call something that can stop 9mm bullets? It's not resistant to 9mm it's bullet proof.

So maybe it really just needs a qualifier like 9mm bullet proof.

But ya, calling it bullet proof without a qualifier is a bit much. Also not the glass, only the sides. 9mm side door bullet proof.

Yep, no one would say a bomb suit isn’t bomb proof because it can’t stop a nuke.

Nothing is truly bullet proof, you just need a bigger bullet.

And a denser bullet

That .50 mounted above the huge sunroof is going to blow out the glass sooner or later so it probably wouldn't protect from weather for very long
