I don't know if the mirror caused the bullet to not shatter the window, but my mom's windhshield spiderwebbed too when it got shot. From what I understand, they were in rush hour traffic on their way home, somewhere on the 405, maybe the I10 ( This was years ago, so I'm fuzzy. I don't know if the shooting happened in Compton or East Los Angeles, but I do know it was gang related.). The car had just turned at the right angle and mom bent over to pick up something she dropped. Bullet hit the part where the mirror is attached to the windshield.
This was before they had cell phones so they couldn't call the cops but I'm sure someone did. It was a rather common gang initiation back then.. the newbie would shoot at the gridlock traffic from an overpass...and gangs do not use bb guns. It just isn't 'hard core' enough. 9.9
In other gun-related thing, my brother -- a guy 20 years my senior and trained to handle fire arms, was an idiot once and pointed a bb gun at me once. With the safety off. ~.~ He thought it was on and actually pressed the trigger. Thankfully I'd gotten distracted and turned right as he shot, otherwise I wouldv'e needed a couple of stitches. The little pellet did go quite deeply into the wall.
PS: I never did say my brother was intelligent.
