"YES it will stop bullets!"
Which brings up an airline story that eventually made it to Mythbusters.
Someone at BOAC asked someone at the FAA how they tested aircraft windshields for resistance to bird strikes (hitting a bird, in flight at 500mph) and the nice folks explained how you got a frozen chicken form the supermarket, stuck it in an air cannon, and fired it at the windshield.
Brits called back, all befuddled because their windshields kept shattering. Finally, someone at the FAA says "Did you remember to DEFROST THE CHICKEN?"
Mythbusters confirmed, frozen chickens do a lot more damage. Even through Lexan. So much for bulletproof.[g]
