If we didn't count that Padania's bullet-proof ferrari. [Rico hit it with M60?]

Where else we can find a car with anti-bullet like this.

I think SWA had bullet-proof cars somewhere.

They probably have a whole fleet of them. Not just cars, but larger vehicles like vans. I think it's an easy bet that Alphonso's van is bulletproof.

It's kind of hard to tell, to be honest. I am not sure the animators in -Il Teatrino- are trying to show the cars as bullet-resistant or if they just don't understand the physics.

In Episode 13, Jean's CL500 is pretty well peppered by Franco's suppressive fire and Jean, Amadeo(?) and the other guy are all standing up behind it, so they don't appear to be worried about rounds penetrating the body panels or the glass to get to them. On the flip side, the bullets do leave actual holes in the glass, which implies penetration. Yet I doubt an unprotected window would take as many hits as they did and not shatter.

I don't know what rounds Franco's gun fires. I assume 9x19mm Parabellum, which means it should not penetrate EN 1063 BR2 armor. So maybe he is using something with an impact energy of greater then 640 J - maybe steel-core rounds which would not be a true "armor-piercing" round, but they would have better penetration.

Franca's Alfa also takes multiple hits to the windshield from Rico's Beretta SCP, but that weapon is both silenced and using subsonic rounds so impact energies are likely significantly reduced. As such, a modern laminated safety windshield may very well not shatter under the impact of those bullets, especially since the impacts are not close together. On the flip side, the side windows take multiple hits from 9x19mm rounds and they don't shatter, so I tend to believe her car is armored to BR2 levels, as well.

Angie's Steyr AUG shatters the Alfa's windshield with the first rounds, but it shatters in the middle and is still intact around the edges. EN 1063 BR5 armor will defeat 5.56x45mm NATO and is rated for almost three times the energy BR2 armor is, so I would not be surprised if the windshield was BR2, it would react to incoming 5.56 rounds in the way it did in the anime.

And Cristiano's Alfa (Mercedes in the anime) is also armored because Rico put's his butlers face through the side window without it shattering. I am guessing BR2 armor here, as well, which is a pretty scary indicator of just how much power the girls have to be able to push a human head partially through it with one shove.

The problem with bullet proofing is that it is built limited to a certain level. It could handle being fired upon with hand and medium sized weapons, but to go larger guns, and the protection fails.

Also bullet proofing does not always protect the occupants from bombings. This is the case with the Pizza Vans as I did them in my fanfict Solution's Resolution. The Pizza Van was hit by an RPG, though it was not penetrated by the shell, the resulting explosion flipped the van up onto its roof, partially crushing it, injuring the occupants inside.

Well we know from Volume 8 that the Italian government has access to advanced CFRP armor developed by the SWA.

When Petrushka fired her submachine gun at the BMW X5, the bullets from her Spectre M4 literally bounced off both the windows and the body panels. As such, the armor is likely designed to resist the impact of high-speed, high-energy projectiles, but at the expense of low-velocity rounds shattering the inner layer and creating a spiderweb effect.

funny thing ,a .45 generally wil not penetrate a windshield with one round it takes two,but a 9mm will go straight through, i recently saw a program in which they fired a 16th century matchlock at a sheet of mild steel about 5mm thick(about as thick as the armour of the time) they first tested the steel against a colt 1911 .45,at about 10 metres,possibly less, they were in the basement of a museum,it left a dent,the matchlock put a half inch hole in the steel !

Awinnell, the same applies to a human body.

The .45 is designed to kill (or greatly wound) who it hits upon impact, as all munitions have been made up to that point (we're talking 1840 - 1911), by transfering all energies from the bullet to the body, causing heavy damage. This transfer of energy causes the bullet to stop in the body. That is why they are called Man-Stoppers.

The 9mm is designed to go through the body, to injure the body, in hopes to capture the assailent alive. But since criminals do like to play nice, the 9mm FMJ has been converted to a 9mm hollow point, and force the engery to disperse into the body and stop the assailent.

The .45 travels slower than the 9mm. The .45 is short and stubby, the 9mm long and thin (comparatively). This is enough of a difference to see what is going on here.

...and if you really wanna go through armor with a handgun, you'd be better served with FN 5.7mm ammo.

failing that, use a .500 Smith and Wesson.

With an German MG42 / MG3.

I cant really say for sure that its either of the two, because of the crappy gun details in that episode.

though I do think that its the MG3. Rico is holding onto the bipod to be able to brace the weapon a little bit better.

It's a Rheinmetall MG3 all right. The Grossfuss gun would belong in a museum, not with the SWA...

How can you be so sure?

The only real difference between the MG42 and the MG3 is the ammo sizes they fire, and some weight, length and the rate of fire differences.

Well, Tommy, I just didn't think a Second World War weapon would be in use anymore. I thought it more likely that any version of the weapon being utilized nowadays would be the modern variant, especially by a high-tech organization like the SWA.

Actually, if you think like about it... only those who can afford it will be having the super guns. Everyone else, includng the criminals, will be using what ever they can get their hands on, even if they should be muesum pieces (like a Muaser 1890).

The criminals should be able to get their hands on "recent vintage" weapons.

Plus the SWA has money so a Rheinmetall MG3 would not be a burden for them. And BR7 level armor would easily stop the 7.62x51mm NATO rounds, even if they were AP. Doubly-so if Rico's was the Beretta-built model converted to fire 5.56 NATO.
