Just to let you know, I saw a high speed photograph of a .308 being deflected by a playing card. I also saw a demonstration where a .50 BMG bullet was deflected by a one inch tree branch.

What was the MOA of deflection?

Sure, but compare to a .223 bullet weighin 1/3 as much, and designed to fragment.

I'd rather stop an attacker before he gets into the range of a typical 200 yard firefight.
