Many bullet-resistant backpacks on the market are made of type IIIA body armor, which can stop handguns that fire 9 mm, . 357 SIG flat nose and . 44 Magnum rounds. However, type IIIA armor can not stop rifle rounds such as 7.62 FMJ rounds.

It took two books to stop the bullets. Then police fired the high power AR-15, "Three books ultimately stopped rounds from hitting the target," Officer Trenton Bell said. "The more books you can stack into a backpack and put around a kid, ultimately you can stop a round."

It took two textbooks to stop the 9 millimeter and . 45 caliber bullet.

It was at that point that we knew that there was something to this and like our own at the range Mythbusters, the final test went for overkill.

Unfortunately, even a 9mm pistol can easily blast a hole through a cast-iron skillet. However, two skillets can stop pistol rounds, so do with that what you will. A cast iron tub might do the job if it were positioned so you could hide behind it, especially if you could fill it with water.
