Is Captain America Shield really Bulletproof?

Captain America has to be the all time favorite super hero, as he fights the bad guys with his famous round shield. We are also, fascinated with bulletproof objects like the Captain America shield.

Gun retailers Miculek.com took this thought a step further and actually tested a Captain America shield weighing 12 pounds. Miculek did make a modification on the shield, he used a titanium one, where as in the comic, the shield was made by Vibranium. Stan Lee the comic creator came up with the term because he wasn’t a metallurgist.

So Miculek crew took the shield out to the range to test it against a .45 cal pistol. Yes, it does stand up to the test, see the video below for the action, enjoy.
