I've seen 40 cal ammunition go through vests with ballistic plates so I'm pretty sure they'll go through a little silver. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12822 Posts	Posted 01/05/2018 5:07 pm You keep using this word "hardly"... I do not think it means what you think it means. (borrowing loosely from I.M.) A shame to see that happen to an ASE but cool that you got a freebie! Report this Post to the Staff

Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 08:18 am I bet most would be surprised with the power of a bullet and a gun. I bet a .22 caliber bullet would pierce a ASE. I am not willing to try it out on one of my ASE's! I know for a fact a .22 caliber bullet will go through a 90% silver Washington quarter very easily. Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/14/2018 8:27 pm Quote: Did you do this? No, but I surmised it was something around a .30 caliber bullet that did the job, most probably a rifle round more or less similar to the one used as a prop in the last photo. I'd opine that the actual culprit was more likely a full metal jacket than the lead tipped type pictured. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 01/15/2018 09:48 am Report this Post to the Staff
