Can a metal folding chair stop a bullet?
Monday, August 23rd, 2010Question by Jack: Can a metal folding chair stop a bullet?
How large a caliber if any? One of those steel folding chairs that you find at schools, churches, gynasiums, etc. Friend and I were just wondering if holding one up would help in case you were shot at. (Completely hypothetical.)

I’ve seen pistol rounds stopped by some pretty mundane things before. A few years ago, living in the “cheap” section of a town, we found out that an exterior brick wall can stop a .45. But the cops said we were lucky, so It’s not something I’d bet on again.
Depending on the caliber, ammo used, barrel length of the gun fired from, and angle; I can see it working. Sometimes.
