Have you ever wondered if your Apple Macbook Pro stop a .22 bullet? How about a 9mm? Well 22 Plinkster Youtuber was curious, so he put this technology to the lead test.
If you didn't know the construction of an Apple Macbook Pro its pretty impressive. For the test a Smith & Wesson.22 long rifle caliber and 9mm is used against the laptop from approximately 7 yards away.
Results As speculated the Mac Book Pro stopped the .22 cal round, no penetration at all. The big surprise came from the 9mm being the higher velocity bullet, still did not penetrate the laptop.
Though the Apple laptop is not meant to be used as a bullet proof device, its great to know that it can stop a .22 cal and a 9mm handgun. This device could save you if such emergency arises. Thanks to 22 Plinkster for testing this tough technology. We always knew that the gun industry would connect with the technology world in a possible life saving scenario. See the footage here.
Considering the bad guy is most likely robbing you to get the device, it may be hard to coax them to shoot it.....
But going forward, I’m going to request that all bad guys shoot me in my Apple....
It looks like the’E’ key is the weak point.
They should be shooting the office copier....
“Office Space”
Is it a 95 grain bullet in .380 caliber? Or is it a .50 caliber projectile?
This story likely comes out of the airport situation, I think it was in Florida, where a passenger was shot at by a terrorist and the bullet was stopped by the Mac he was carrying in his backpack.
Lemme get my Model 29 and one of my reloads, and I’ll show y’all what isn’t bulletproof. Heh!
Move away from the target area. Dummy
Next test: "Will a Starbucks cup stop a rubber riot bullet?"
This has already been done.

My question is how many protesters will the average 22 lr pass through
Do you think any will volunteer be test subjects :)

That’s why I use .45 ACP.

Will a bullet stop an Apple MacBook Pro?
The big surprise came from the 9mm being the higher velocity bullet, still did not penetrate the laptop.
Unlikely that the 9mm is higher velocity. The velocity of common .22 LR and 9mm cartridges is close and overlaps quite a bit.
The 9mm has about three times the energy, because it has about three times the mass, though.
That’s why I use .45 ACP.
The .45 has about the same energy as the 9mm.
Penetration is about the same, though there are significant differences between specific loads.
Top end .45 and top end 9mm do not have much difference.
