and to make things even more dramatic, its phone case was of The Incredible Hulk. So the Marvel hero and the Moto G5 together managed to stop a bullet and save the owner’s life.
The incident took place last week in Brazil during a robbery attempt, according to a report by Daily Mail. The bullet that was first stopped by the Moto G5 smartphone after which it grazed the owner’s hip, the report added. This ended up leaving the man with a small bruise on his hip but with no other injury caused by the bullet.
The Moto G5 took all the damage of the bullet leaving it completely broken, according to images shared by the doctor who treated the phone’s owner. We can see the bullet hit the phone’s screen which is now shattered and also a big dent at the back from the force of it. The Hulk case on the phone is also seen which leaves a rather symbolic impression of the entire incident. The Moto G5 isn’t known to be a rugged smartphone but it does have a bulky body if we compare it to the slim and delicate design of smartphones these days.

The Cupertino-based tech giant claims that iPhones are rated against dust, water and even extreme temperatures. However, Apple has never shared if the device is bulletproof. This is not the first time an iPhone was able to stop a bullet. In June 2022, an iPhone stopped a bullet to save the life of a Ukrainian soldier.
Beyond the engine block and possibly the wheel wells, modern vehicles do not feature sufficient materials of the needed thicknesses to reliably stop an incoming bullet, regardless of caliber. That said, given the choice between having nothing between an incoming round and something, something would be preferable.
Most dropped bullets land tip first on a floor or the ground. When this happens, the bullet will land in a way that prevents the impact from being sufficiently forceful to cause the bullet to fire. Significant impact to the primer would be needed to cause it to discharge.
