Can a bullet round (9mm, .38, .40, .45 cal) penetrate a standard Yellow pages telephone directory?

Let's say a bullet round was fired (at various angle and distance) into a regular car "armored" by a layer of standard Yellow pages telephone directory. Can this bullet (either a 9mm, .38, .40 or .45 cal and non armor-piercing) penetrate past the metal sheet of the car and the telephone directory?Can a bullet round (9mm, .38, .40, .45 cal) penetrate a standard Yellow pages telephone directory?
Pokes a hole clean through the Guthrie phone book... but not so much damage to the OKC book. A little shared reasearch for my fellow Okie.



If you "armored" a car with phone books ... and made it a reliable bullet catcher... your car would weigh so much it would barely move under power.



Dont you kids play baseball outside anymore?
Depends on what you mean by "standard" Yellow Pages directory. I fired a 9mm into a Tulsa phone book that contained both white and yellow pages, and it didn't penetrate. On the other hand, a pellet from my RWS Model 34 will go clean through my Oologah directory I get at my lake house.Can a bullet round (9mm, .38, .40, .45 cal) penetrate a standard Yellow pages telephone directory?
Here ya go, all the answers you could ever want and then some more about what rounds will go through what. This is a really cool site. This guy goes out and tests all kinds of stuff and posts pics of it all.

It would depend on the type of the bullet. I would say probably the most likely to penetrate both would be a 9mm +p+ fmj with a steel rod core.
