Are skis bulletproof?

I was in my room the other day thinking “what if someone broke into my house right now? What would I do?” And I concluded that the only item in my room that I could really use as weapon would be one of my skis. And then I thought “what if the intruder had a gun? Could I use my ski as a shield as well as a weapon? Would it stop a bullet or would the bullet go straight through and kill me?”

Are skis bulletproof?

I mean skis are gonna stop the penetration of a bullet more than not having skis lol. Would the bullet go through the skis and then hit you depends on a lot of things like distance, gun type, bullet type, location hit on the ski, ski material etc.

also, totally not related to this thread but what’s your address

If you held the skis at a certain angle that would mean the bullet would have to travel through 189 cm of pure Vishnu Wet and I’m p sure that would stop a bullet

just another reason to have longer skis

Funny you say that I remember seeing John Ware put a hole in one point blank in an old ON3P edit that does not exist anymore sadly. Great skis nonetheless.

Man knocks gun out of armed assailants hand then body slams him through coffee table. Credits heroic moves to ski culture and movies such as zootspace.

Some dude in Mexico fought off like 5 armed intruders with a katana. I'm sure you could do the same with a pair of pipe skis with pivots. Imagine the spinning blade action as long as you're careful enough to not mousetrap a finger. Forget that, snap the heels up for a better handle.

that angle actually would not be possible due to the amount of rocker, so rather it would be about 183 cm of pure vishnu wet
