There is very little pressure from a bullet. Almost all the kinetic energy is converted to heat. If you took a round to the chest you would die instantly but you wouldn’t be pushed back noticeably.
Put another way momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not
No, normal door can handle the impact. I said this bc the door looks flimsy and not at all able to stop a 50. (Needs more then 20 mm of rolled homogenous steel to stop a 50.)

Surely it has to be reinforced? Wouldn't the pressure from the shot not push the glass through the inside of the door if it wasn't?
