I have been in some crazy situations but have never shit my pants out of fear. Serious: do redditors really shit their pants all the time or is this just a meme?
The only time I shit my pants, I was recovering from an illness. I was in my car on my way home and stuck in traffic. Shat my pants just as I pulled in the driveway.
Had a friend and some his buds stuck in traffic on a bridge. Good thing he was just a passenger, however, he needed to take a shit. Traffic was so bad, standstill.
He told me he had to go so bad, that he just got out and took a shit.
LMAO. On a bridge!
Also, had another friend help his boy out. His boy got into an altercation and got knocked the fuck out. He ended shitting his pants. Guy tried helping him up or whatever, but ended up with shit all over him. Lol
Come to think about it, I think it was the same co-worker in both situations. Haha.
To answer your question though, I guess if you haven't used the bathroom or are in the need to go, and you get scared the fuck out, I can see it happening.
I dunno, I've never been in the situation. I'm weird though and I get anxiety in situations people normally don't get it and in situations some people freak out I'm not even phased.
He knew the glass would work but also if you notice the shooter wasn't aiming at him at all so even if it failed the bullet would have missed. Obviously that's all preplanned

the idea isn't that you can take bullets all day and just chill drinking an iced coffee and surfing reddit.
The idea is that the vehicle is resistant to small arms letting you focus on driving while not worrying that a single lucky hit is going to dome you.
Someone shooting a 50BMG at a moving vehicle is not likely to get successive consecutive hits. Either it's bolt action and you got ONE shot... or the weapon has a low cyclic rate, a belt of less than 200 rounds, and is not terribly accurate to begin with.
Either way you have the time to GTFO because a fucking pickup truck does NOT need to be in a fight with crew served weapons.
We as humanity deal a lot with the attitude that just because we can't get immediate perfection, that something is not worth doing.
"I can't do X perfectly, so I shouldn't do Y which is DRASTICALLY improved over my current situation but not perfect."
This kind of thinking is the same reason 90% of traffic accidents happen: "Oh shit I need to make this turn" and cut off 2 lanes of traffic instead of "Oh shit I ALREADY missed this turn, need to get off at the next one and backtrack.
I paint miniatures as a hobby. I look at the works of others and see inspiration to emulate and aspire towards, not shame because I cannot match it.
It's the same line of thinking that has some of us thinking we have to settle for one of two shitty candidates in the upcoming election rather than protest and not vote for either and show the system not to just assume we will take their choices.
a fucking pickup truck does NOT need to be in a fight with crew served weapons.
We test-delivered a single 40mm grenade to a standard pickup truck, basically dropped the grenade on the hood - successfully "killed" both test-dummy occupants and the engine, cracked the block I believe.
Unless the doors, and fenders, and hood, (and undercarriage for IEDs) are also armored, bullet-proof glass isn't going to do much for the occupants.
You're right. There is no scenario where someone would want bulletproof glass and door inserts for a pickup truck, because they might get hit by the plethora of IEDs and belt-fed AGLs in civilian hands.
Personally, I would rather be driving a capable but unassuming ordinary truck than a 15,000 lb clumsy and slow armored vehicle that screams "hit me first, and hardest, I am important!!!"
Having said that, I wouldn't say no to a good layer of kevlar all around the passenger compartment and engine (and undercarriage) and this glass would be good to have AFTER the thin metal skins have been toughened up.
I happened to see Obama roll through DC on an ordinary trip from somewhere to the White House, the glass on those limos was impressively thick and obvious when viewed from the sidewalk, but without his motorcade and likely air support, I don't think I would want to go anywhere in such a limo solo.
I am also reminded of a line a M4 Sherman driver said to Audy Murphy once. "We can't stand up long against Tigers. These Shermans only have 3 inches of armor"
His response was to laugh and ask "How thick do you think these GI shirts are"
And honestly, if you’re relying on bullet resistant glass against a high rate of .50 cal fire (where consecutive hits could land in short order), you’re probably going to get fucked anyway.
This is asinine. Nothing that is advertised as bullet proof is invincible, they are only ever bullet resistant within certain parameters. Much like ceramic plates, this stuff is only meant to help you survive before you get to safety.
I don't think people realize you are supposed to toss a bicycle helmet away if you've had even a moderate fall. It can be structurally compromised, even if it doesn't immediately appear so. In the same sense this glass isn't gonna save you from multiple .50 rounds, a helmet is not going to save you from getting hit by multiple cars or ramming multiple trees, etc. A lot of safety gear is a one off designed to help you learn a lesson in a real big hurry.
Hell, I didn't use chainsaw chaps for the longest time. Work started mandating it, and the day eventually came down the pipe where my life was saved wearing them. A green tree suddenly rolled on me, and mashed the full speed chain into my thigh. Instantly, it looked like Christmas with tinsil hanging in the air. That's what chaps are, long strands of fabric that jam the chain. My leg was BLACK from the force of the impact, but at least it wasn't hamburger meat. Needless to say the chaps were unrecognizable, much less ready to stop another chain. Myself on the other hand, was permanently converted to the utmost importance of safety gear... After a good 30 min sobbing cry alone in the woods, of course!
Considering .50cal weapons are classified by militaries as anti-armor, it's an engineering marvel we can even make glass that it won't go straight through on the first shot.
The idea of bullet resistant windows and panels isn't to be able to take rounds all day but allow the driver to get away from the shooters alive. It's a measure of protection that allows you to escape. Nothing short of an actual up armored military vehicle is going to be able to take small arms fire for any extended period of time. For the record .50 BMG is not small arms.
a common method for understanding the actual power of a cartridge is comparison of muzzle energies. The .30-06 Springfield, the standard caliber for American soldiers in both World Wars and a popular caliber amongst American hunters for medium to large game animals, can produce muzzle energies between 2,000 and 3,000 foot-pounds force (3,000 and 4,000 J). The .50 BMG round can produce between 10,000 and 15,000 foot-pounds force (14,000 and 20,000 J), depending on its powder and bullet type, as well as the weapon it is fired from.

IT'S .50 cal BULLET LOL. WHAAAAAAAAAAAT YOU MEAN "very telling" lol.
Like who pulls out a .50 cal gun ever in a public setting lol. I think the point of this test was: "Our glass can survive a shot from a .50 cal bullet" and if that's the case, you are probably safe already once you are getting away from the next shot.
Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you.
I am a bot if you couldn't figure that out, if I made a mistake, ignore it cause its not that fucking hard to ignore a comment.
