I feel like that's probably the one thing a vehicle marketed as bullet-proof needs to be... like, actually bullet-proof.

For non-tactical applications they’re no more or less bulletproof

You sure about that? I mean, they're made of thin stainless steel glued to a plastic shell.

    Yeah. Any car that isn't armored should be assumed 0% bulletproof. I wouldn't trust a car door to protect me from a .22.

    The engine block is the only thing on a regular cop car that would reliably stop, deflect, or at least slow most bullets.
