Xbox deflects real bullets

Irate Marylander shoots his roommates' console, but the 9mm round fails to penetrate its casing.

When called to investigate a shooting last Friday night, police in Anne Arundel County, Maryland found an unlikely culprit--an Xbox.
The Baltimore Sun reports that 34-year old Robert Preston Kersey had grown enraged by his roommates constantly playing their Xbox at high volume. According to the police report, Kersey emerged from his bedroom at 2 a.m. brandishing an automatic pistol. Rather than shoot his roommates, Kersey took aim at the offending Xbox and fired a single shot at the console. While the bullet's impact disabled the Xbox, its thick plastic casing deflected the 9mm round, which ricocheted away harmlessly.

Other than the Xbox, no injuries resulted from the incident. Kersey was later booked on two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of destruction of property.

i read that a few days ago and was going to send it to my brother who only plays games on his PS2. I wonder if that one would deflect a bullet?

uh, does it really NEED to deflect a bullet?

Well, no. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to use it for protection in case someone breaks into your house with a gun while you are playing a game?

Wel at what angle did he fire the gun? was it straight on (then I would be impressed) or at an actue angle? If at an angle even water can deflect a bullet.
