Why do people say and write ATM ‘MACHINE’?Most people don't know that ATM means Automated TELLER Machine, so that they don't know they are writing, "Automated Teller Machine Machine".
They just want you to know that it is a machine...machine.

Well, I learned that if the bad guy is shooting with less than .50 caliber, I can hide behind an ATM. If he has a Barrett I'm toast.
Always good to learn new things...

Worked at company which serviced ATM
Had one guy whose job it was that when new model machine
came out he was to “test” it
Would shake, pound and kick the machine while cursing at it
Cram pen, pencils, crayons in slots to see if would jam
Really got into it Was fun to watch
Didn’t shoot a machine.....

As a person with some background in metal fabrication, I’ve taken casual notice of the fabrication, assembly, and materials used in these machines. I didn’t need to take one out to the desert to determine that they are highly bullet-resistant just by their design and materials. The testing chart in your OP certainly validates my casual observation.

They do seem to be constructed out of steel that is much harder than mild steel, I’d say it approaches armored/ballistic steel. But the sides are like 1/4”, so it’s not stopping a .50 cal any day.

Not mild steel - that is a hot-rolled process to produce the shape/thickness. It’s cold-rolled steel which is done with pure power/weight/hydraulics to create the thickness. The process causes a unique change to the granular structure of the metal and makes it much harder for its actual thickness.
