iPod saves a life by slowing bullet

Although the iPod has never been my favorite digital music player due to its limited compatibility, its more durable material may have the potential to take a bullet for its owner.

Soldiers in Iraq often carry around their gadgets to pass time, never considering the fact that such devices could be used as shields.

A bullet from an AK-47 (don’t ask me for details about that gun) was fired at soldier Kevin Garrad to the chest, but his iPod happened to be in the way. Apparently AK-47 bullets can penetrate the Inteceptor body armor vests that soldiers wear.
