Being shot at with an AK47

[SlowLX]

Looks like a good time.

I spent a lot of time on the road behind armor like that in Kabul, Afg. I always wondered how many hits it could take before penetrating. I know the windows in our Suburbans weighed over 75 pounds each and were over an inch thick.

I used to feel safe riding around in an up armored 7-ton until I saw a few in the bone yard ripped open like a tuna can. Since then I've always come to the conclusion "You're either gunna have a bad day or you're not...ain't shit you can do about it"

Yep, read the stories I posted. They even have it on video.

Hell, I've never seen the link or known the story, just the pictures I was sent a couple of years ago.

Was there ever an explanation of why Mr Kennedy tried to kill the officer?

Sort of like the Mexican guy who created the kevlar suit or whatever that material is he uses. He gets shot practically point blank with a pistol to show you how real it is.

Yeah, no thanks.

At least that LEO car's laptop was safe! It takes the departments forever to buy new tech gear.

Here are a couple of articles about that shot up patrol car and how it happened.

Retreating to the cover of his patrol vehicle, the officer drew his Glock service weapon and exchanged fire with Kennedy, who used a 9 X 19mm handgun and an AK-47 rifle2. Officer Kunz got off sixteen rounds and managed to shoot Kennedy three times in the upper back and neck, and although he sustained no injuries of his own, the accompanying photos show the damage to his vehicle.

Considering what intense fire he was under, that is amazing.

Hopefully that was just a field test and not an actual shooting..that's pretty intense!
