SVI Engineering, an armoring specialist in South Africa, has released the first episode in a new series called Shoot Through.
The debut video shows us what would happen if someone were to open fire at your vehicle’s brakes. The disc in question, liberated from a Toyota Land Cruiser 79 pickup truck, is ventilated steel and entirely stock – how will it fare against a 7.62 mm bullet fired out of a potent AK-47?
We get to see what happens thanks to a high-speed Photron camera. “My feeling is because it’s ventilated, it might pass through [the first edge] and be stopped by the second [one],” surmised Business Development Director Nicol Louw.
There’s only one way to find out. Place your bets.
