We’ve seen it many times in the movies. The hero is shot in the chest and falls to the ground, presumably dead. Then it’s discovered that the bullet was stopped by something in his breast pocket… Something like a lighter!
Could it really happen? If you had a Zippo lighter in your pocket, could it potentially protect you from a terrible hunting accident? It’s a strange scenario, but that never stopped anyone from investigating.
Check out the video to see if a Zippo lighter can fend off a .22.
