according to some dude with a lots of guns, youtube channel and a cybertruck it will stop 9x19mm and .22 LR, but not .17 HMR, .223/5.56x45mm, or presumably anything bigger. .17 HMR will stop in doors, but will go through external plate
anyway this is movie plot scenario relevant only to edgelords. maybe it'll be easier to avoid being shot at by not being in a car associated with shitheads
Places that have metal protecting you (legs), places not bullet proof, head and chest.
Doesn't sound that useful. Also the bridge I currently take to go to work as the main bridge is closed for updating for the next few months only supports 3 tons. So a cyber truck couldn't get to my residence without taking a 7 mile detour each way.
(Not that I was ever considering one nor could afford one)
Edit to also add fun fact for those that maybe didn't understand the size of a .22lr or a .223 listed above. .223 is also known as 5.56 NATO. though they sound similar in size, a .223 round has 10x the energy of a .22 (they are much larger and travel much faster)
wait how come this thing is over three tons (metric)
who is this thing for and for what purpose
Not sure who they are for. I have seen a few. I have never seen one tow or haul anything yet though. So I think they are just for looking strange.
Kadyrov put a NSV machinegun on it, but it's only for celebratory gunfire and joyrides, it's nowhere near capable of frontline use

Wait are the windows Bulletproof? Because I don't think you can do that and still comply with safety regulations.
No https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/window-break.gif?w=600
Given that the Swastikkkars haven't had any sort of certification from NHTSA or any other testing institute, I think we can safely say they don't.
Cars with bulletproof windows definitely exist and can be driven on the street?
Interesting. Must be some sort of safety exemption?
I guess you could have a bullet proof layer seperated by some air and some extra layers of plastic in-between, sounds like it would be hella chunky though.
Back a couple decades ago in the industry it was kind of a trade off between splattering your skull on the window, or stopping rifle rounds. Seems like improvements might have been made.
