So I know that this thought process was inspired by something stupid, but bear with me
I've mucked about with a few bits of sheet metal and whatever from the hardware store as plinking plates for my centerfire rifles. Nothing stood up well...
(Here comes the stupid bit...) I was watching the movie 'pain and gain' last night and there's a bit where they have a scuffle in a weight room and one of the guys holds up a bench weight to deflect a bullet.
Obviously you wouldn't normally take any firearms info from a movie as accurate, but this seemed pretty plausible I thought...
Anyone done this? Hoping that buying a decent size weight will work as a plinking plate that will stand up to some .30 cal fire.
Thoughts?
