Custom PC did this a while ago with "bullet proof" technology...One shot gun shell later...
...Clearly, it is not bullet proof.

I might have to try that at some point in our range at uni. Got my own range keys, so should have some fun

I need to move to the US and get loads of guns!

Oh, boohoo.

Wife said, "Don't be silly."

So no shooting of the PC case today. :mad:

Saw it done ages ago in a Pc Mag... they tested whether Gigabytes Bullet Proof technology was false.. it was.

I've got some old very out of date PC's in my cupboard waiting for the right time to do this - I tried to arrange it last summer but it didn't happen. I'm going to be shooting them and videoing how it goes using .22, .357 magnum and .45 calibres

Shoot the wife instead?

Happy wife = me get nookie

Unhappy wife = me get no nookie

I got nookie. Shooting computer parts can wait. Nookie more important than shooting!!

Next time strap them both to your nearest local emo and shoot the hardware then. Far more satisfying

what the hell is exeter doing with a shooting range ? ! ?

last time a hdd broke we had fun throwing it off the balcony and setting fire to it... but alas we do not have access to the firepower that u do

It's there for people to go shooting at. You'd be surprised at how many ranges there are around the country.

Hi,

Got an old desktop case which is getting the good news on the weekend hopefully.

Of course will provide pics (before and after fwiw)

Thanks for looking,

Dave.
