A gamer's house in the USA was riddled with bullets during a shooting. Even the big gaming monitor took a hit. But it still works!
The player Eric Gan from Fresno County (California, USA) was awoken last Sunday at 4 AM local time by loud banging noises. After lying panic-stricken in bed for an hour, he eventually fell back asleep and decided to check the situation calmly the next morning.
House and monitor riddled with bullets
What did the player find in the morning? The next morning, Gan was shocked to find the south wall of his house riddled with five bullet holes. What exactly had happened, Gan could not determine. He assumes that a few kids in the neighborhood must have been celebrating too wildly.
This is the deal with the bulletproof monitor: The craziest thing about it was not that it seems normal in Gan’s area to shoot around at night. Rather, a deformed bullet was found on his desk behind the monitor!
Gan initially thought the bullet had completely missed his thick MSI monitor, but in reality, the projectile had clearly hit the back of the monitor and had been stopped by it. There was only a small dent at the entry point.
Gan assumes that the wall had already significantly reduced the energy of the projectile. But he found it quite impressive that the monitor had fully stopped the bullet. Therefore, he posted a picture of the monitor.
This is how the manufacturer of the screen reacted: The company behind the monitor was of course happy about the free PR in the form of “You build bulletproof monitors” and promised Eric Gan a brand new screen as a replacement, even though the old screen still worked.
This is how other gamers react: In the comments of the source Kotaku, the news was received with a smile. Besides contributions to public safety in the USA, some gamers now suspect bulletproof monitors to soon be used as cover in Free2Play shooters, stopping bullets while cheerfully advertising for the cash shop.
Others, on the other hand, demand monitors as body armor in shooters.
Should DrDisrespect get such a screen too?
