Varies upon thickness.
It is why you can have a super thin layer as the face of a driver and smack golf balls with a club head speed over 100mph and it will take years for it to warp or dent.
The only thing that is truly bullet proof is Chuck Norris.
Bullet resistant is what is wanted and it looks like it passed.
I remember an old Soldier of Fortune magazine showed a titanium vest penetrated by a .303 Lee-Enfield during the early 80s Soviet Afghan war. The titanium vest was said to be worn by a Soviet colonel or general officer.
Who knew titanium is resistant to penetration. . .

“If it hadn’t been for the titanium bathtub, I probably wouldn’t be here. The right side below the cockpit had seventeen major holes in it and the bathtub had a lot of chinks in it. Think of that; seventeen major holes just below the cockpit and I didn’t get a scratch! It has to be a rugged airplane to sustain that kind of damage. And five days later they had patched it with speed tape, changed the right flaps, aileron and speed brakes, and flew it back to Fahd. Then, after some work, they got it in shape and we flew it home.”
If the bullet is made of chocolate, then yes.
You bet.Thats why the A10 Thunderbolt has a Titanium bathtub surrounding its cockpit.Its designed to take hits up to twenty mm if I recall without suffering damage.
Fun fact: titanium burns in pure nitrogen. Almost nothing else does. You’re welcome.
Heh.
Cotton’s “bullet proof” if you pile it thick enough.
Iron has a different strength than steel.
Likewise, Titanium alone has different characteristics than when it is combined with other stuff. Imagine titanium-kevlar.
