Fun fact: The windows are not bulletproof. Also the most common rifle in the US is the AR-15... and the cybertruck's doors are decidedly NOT resistant againt .223/5.56x45mm rounds. And if they're using green tips or even regular FMJ rounds, you can forget about any semblance of protection.

I was shooting thicker steel than that yesterday with cheapo .223, went through it like butter. The bullets are hilariously small, but they're hauling ass at 3,400FPS.

People don't realize just how penetrative .223 is. And the stuff you are firing is civilian grade stuff. Imagine some VIP was driving a cyber truck thinking he is safe and some guys with actual military ammunition fired at him. His car might as well be made of paper mache.

Yeah military 5.56 will go through cinderblocks. Maybe not in a perfect straight line but modern military rounds would chew up any car, even the lame cybertruck.

Basically unless you're behind the engine block or axel (the dense metal parts of the car) assault rifle rounds are gonna get through. Don't hide behind cars.
