This iPod slowed down a bullet for a soldier who was fighting in iraq. He said he didn't even know he was shot until he tried to use his iPod. Usually the vests impact pretty hard.

dang! where all do bullet vests cover??

Must have been a ricochet or something, there's no way and Ipod could stop a direct hit from an ak-47. Really cool though.

It was on his vest. The vest covers vital organs. Usually they hit pretty darn hard, but the ipod must have softened it.
