Problem?

iPod blocks bullet or slows it down

The Apple iPod is more than just a well-designed MP3 and video player. It's also a life-saver. The above photo shows a 'Pod that might have saved the life of Kevin Garrad, a U.S. Infantryman in Iraq. Garrand's fourth-generation iPod was blasted by a 7.62mm bullet fired by an Iraqi insurgent. The bullet went clear through the MP3 player, but didn't penetrate his Kevlar armor. Maybe the iPod slowed the bullet just enough to save the guy's life.

I know a bit about guns, and I will guarantee you that his kevlar vest, and not the ipod saved his life. It would not have mattered if the ipod was there or not. Must suck ass though to get shot PLUS lose your ipod!
4/5 for nice pic though.

"The armor stopped the bullet. The iPod was how Kevin Garrad found out he was shot. This is the real story of what happened to the iPod."
