I’m sure they’re bulletproof.

Ya, I was wondering, where exactly in Detroit these will be built. Depending on the neighborhood, being bullet proof could be more important than all the energy saving items they talk about.

“I’m sure they’re bulletproof.”

ISO containers are constructed of thin Corten type steel with corrugations to give strength. Typical container walls will stop a .22 Long Rifle, and perhaps weaker pistol bullets. Most rifle bullets will easily penetrate the sheet metal of a container. Even the corner posts are just 1/4 inch thick square or rectangular steel tubing, which a decent rifle will penetrate.
