Looks like it got a ram bar. Also what would deflect the bullet if it missed everything?

Have you seen the price of DIMM modules nowadays?!

Jumping in front of the bullet would've hurt less!

insurance is paying it out regardless, and the gun owner said if it doesnt, theyd pay it off.

the cost between the gun owner and insuance will probably cover it.

That's assuming it's DDR4.

For DDR5 you probably need the extended insurance that also covers Jewellery and Luxury Goods.
