This video tests the ballistic resistance of a MacBook Pro against various firearm calibers. While a .22 LR round was stopped by the aluminum casing, larger calibers like .380 ACP and 9mm penetrated one or two laptops. A .45 ACP round easily passed through two laptops and struck the target dummy, demonstrating laptops are not reliable bulletproof shields against common handgun rounds.

Quick Summary

Laptops are not effective bulletproof shields. While a .22 LR round was stopped by a MacBook's aluminum casing, larger calibers like .380 ACP and 9mm penetrated one or two laptops. A .45 ACP round easily passed through two laptops, demonstrating their inadequacy for ballistic protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a laptop stop bullets from a .22 LR rifle?

In this test, a .22 LR round from a Ruger 10/22 was stopped by the rear aluminum casing of a MacBook Pro. The casing bulged but did not allow the bullet to pass through, indicating some limited resistance against very small calibers.

What happens when a 9mm bullet hits a laptop?

When a 9mm bullet from a Glock pistol was fired at a stack of laptops, it penetrated the first laptop and became lodged deep inside the second. This shows that two laptops are insufficient to reliably stop 9mm rounds.

Are laptops effective as bulletproof shields?

No, laptops are not effective as bulletproof shields. While a .22 LR round was stopped, larger calibers like .380 ACP, 9mm, and especially .45 ACP easily penetrated one or two stacked laptops, demonstrating their inadequacy for protection.

Which caliber was most effective at penetrating the laptops?

The .45 ACP caliber pistol round was the most effective at penetrating the laptops in this test. It easily passed through two stacked MacBooks, striking the target dummy behind them, proving it could overcome the laptop's resistance.
