Phones that stopped bullets

Guest

Did you ever read these stories? :P I only ever read the 2 HTC phones stopping bullets

 

I copy pasted this from this website.

 

 

The Nokia Lumia 520 is mostly known for how inexpensive, yet functional, it is. From now on though, it’ll be known as a butt saver. A Brazil military police officer was shot at by robbers looting his mother’s home. While one bullet missed him entirely, the other one hit his Lumia 520.

While the bullet might not have killed the officer, seeing as it would have hit his buttock, it could have prevented a safe getaway and would have given the robbers incentive to inflict more harm. Fortunately, the officer was able to get away unscathed, though the robbers were able to make a successful getaway.

Our Evo 3D couldn’t handle a 3-foot drop on concrete without shattering, but HTC’s old 3D phone surprised us this week. Following the attempted robbery of a gas station in Florida this week, a failed thief shot at a clerk as he left the store, with the bullet catching the man in the chest. Thankfully, he was only slightly injured because the Evo 3D absorbed the majority of the impact. While the man survived, the phone, sadly, didn’t make it. We’re happy for the man, but sad that he’s had to live with an Evo 3D for so long.

HTC phones have seen action in the past too. An HTC Evo contributed to John Garber’s survival in 2011, when the battery stopped a bullet that randomly fired outside a nightclub in Atlanta.

Given the Evo and Evo 3D are loosely related, we’d say that’s two people who’re still walking around thanks to owning one.

I won't link everything here, that's too much clutter.

 

But anyway, wowzers, you have to be insanely lucky for your phone to stop a bullet.

Nokia  Lumia 502.

The nokia part explains a lot.

Reminds me of the old joke that when you throw you Nokia on the floor you should be more concerned about the floor breaking than the phone   :lol:

The iPhone 6 would probably bend around the bullet

I'm speculating as to what the round was. I'm guessing .38 special.

Gun is that thing you put in your mouth and chew right?

Not sure about that, but I would say it sucked most of the stopping power, you might get away with some flesh wound or a bruise. 

 

Heard dog tags saved some people too, not sure how true.

Probably a .22LR pistol, if so it wouldn't of killed him anyway or have done much damage at all. That round in the picture looks like it and that wouldn't of penetrated that far into his skin.. Seems like a news gimik. Some guns were never meant to kill people believe it or not robber must of not had much money to buy a real gun as .22 are the cheapest pistol you can buy as it's usually used for small game hunting, or they didn't know much about guns and though because it's a gun they would be good.

I remember reading that a South Korean man had a Galaxy Mega 6.3 in his breast pocket when he got shot, and it stopped it.

And people complain about Samsung's build quality.
