We always see videos of companies test firing at bullet proof glass on cars, but check out what happens when it happens in real life. This damn Jeep took 350 AK shots and a BLOODY RPG. I REPEAT: RPG and a BARRET 50 Cal with people inside.

On 24 April, 2010, this Jeep Grand Cherokee was used to transport Minerva Bautista, head of the Secretaria de Seguridad of Michoacan, Mexico. The office of the Secretaria de Seguridad is the equivalent of our Department of Public Safety. She survived the assassination attempt due to the level 5 armored vehicle she was traveling in. It received 350 impacts from AK-47, AR-15, G3, and .50 Barret. Doesn’t mention the name of the armored company that built the Jeep Cherokee, however government officials are praising how well the vehicle stood up during the attack.

Really? So the armored car designed to stop bullets had nothing to do with it huh? Wore her lucky panties and dodged 350 rounds and a RPG.

:speechless:

She's lucky she survive the attack. Armored car or not, 350 rounds and an RPG would kill you. The cars definitely helped but it's more about her luck. Understood?

Not level 5 protection. That's design spec. Explosives and rifle fire.

i dont think any car armor is designed to be able to stop a .50 cal, and no armor is designed to stop 350 rounds of anything. So id say she was pretty damn lucky.

[MindBomber]

Designed, no, but capable, possibly depending on just how far the shooter is away.

[twitchyzero]

i dont even think HUMVEE's can withstand RPG fire. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[tiger_handheld]

so it just rolled along on flat tires?

public safety officer needs a better person to plan her routes. no one is gonna be ready with RPG, if they dont know the person is coming...

[underscore]

^ I think that part may be exaggerated. I'm gonna go ahead and guess that an RPG was fired at it, but did not actually impact the vehicle directly.

[Mr.Money]

i bet you the stupid Driver for her Didn't know Shit about defensive Driving at all..350 bullets for his Stupidity staying in one area.

[vitaminG]

Designed, no, but capable, possibly depending on just how far the shooter is away.


the one on the left is what its designed to be hit by, the one on the right is a .50 cal which is what it got hit with. So im still thinking shes pretty lucky.

Somewhat common in Brazil. You can get stuff that WILL stop heavy machine gun fire and explosives. Unlike most people here, I actually know what I am talking about. If money is no problem, you can get that sort of stuff.

Edit: Just saw the comparison. If it was designed to sustain only 7.62, then there was some sort of wrong reporting there.

[2damaxmr2]

RPG-7 = The end.

[StylinRed]

she didn't go unscathed though she was injured along with 9 others

2 bodyguards and 2 civilians were killed 10 injured in the attack

it happened last year; she was replaced 4months later with a retired army commander

[slammer111]

Holy crap how would you even be able to see through the windows (to get away) after that? :eek:

That is insane. Makes drive-bys in Canada/US look like nothing. This one has easily 10x the number of bullets. Damn.

If the Bacon boys ever decide to go straight, they could make a fortune building armored cars for foreign militaries :troll:

There was a show on Speedmakers recently that were designing various armoured vehicles. In it, they say that can stop a 50 cal round with I think about 7 or 8 inches of glass (lexan? or some sort of hybrid?). That or some of the new aluminized glass is supposed to stop one as well.

http://www.livescience.com/420-military-aluminum-windows-stop-50-caliber-bullet.html

I certainly bet that the US president's car can stop a 50 cal.

the older caddy was considered the beast, the new one is a freaking monster...

they released pictures and the fuckin windows were 10" thick.
