Could a soda machine stop a large-caliber bullet and save your life?
Another question to ponder with us plinkers that have nothing to do.
I'm sure most of us normal people dont think of this but if there were a hail of bullets coming their way.
They probably would not think twice to get behind it for some cover.
Which brings us back to the question.
Again, Youtuber Edwin Sarikissian tries out some different calibers on a vending machine just to see if it is bulletproof.
The results were very impressive.
This metal box stood up to .500 Magnum and the powerful .50 Caliber incendiary round.
The machine held up against everything with nothing in it!
With a fully stock machine it would make it even be more bulletproof.
Though snacks and drinks are considered not good for you, at least the machine can save your life from a bullet. See the full footage of bulletproof vending machine here.
Dr. Strangelove—my thoughts exactly.
“Settled science.” :-)
Well, we learned in the Indiana Jones movie about how fridges can help you survive a nuclear bomb blast.
Are we talking Coke or Pepsi here?
“You’re going to have to answer to the Coca Cola Bottling company.”
“Though snacks and drinks are considered not good for you, at least the machine can save your life from a bullet.”
Well, there is that..
Great! Put some arm bands on it so it can be wielded as a shield and I want one.......useless article but common sense says if there’s something you can put between you and a shooter, go for it....
You’ll have to answer to the Coca Cola Company.
That line was meant to take a kick at the concept of private property. Highly manipulated, but funny nonetheless, which is a sign of good satire.
The whole film was meant to suck out our essence with satire.
Washing machines are not grenade proof:

People had legitimate concerns about fluoridation (and some still do, as far as I know) but this aspect of the movie was made to depict them (and anyone else distrusting communism) as pure kooks.
That’s good to know. Maybe I’ll get one and start carrying it around with me.
Colonel! Can you possibly imagine what is going to happen to you, your frame, outlook, way of life, and everything, when they learn that you have obstructed a telephone call to the President of the United States? Can you imagine? Shoot it off! Shoot! With a gun! That’s what the bullets are for, you twit!
Ok, but youre gonna have to answer to the Coca Cola company...
He hates these cans!
Beat me to it.
