Video: Samsung Galaxy Tab’s Gorilla Glass takes on 3 bullets
In this video the Samsung Galaxy Tab’s Gorilla glass takes a beating by this dude who shoots 3 metal bullets with a co2 carbon dioxide powered gas gun. It looks like he’s only about a couple feet away. To say the least… the Tab’s 7-inch display is strong. Check it out after the break:

Misleading title, it is not a “bullet” and also not a real gun.

I didn’t actually see if any bullets fired…not that I’m doubting the screen, I just don’t believe videos like I used to

My galaxy s screen got scratched up by being in the same pocket as some of my keys, don’t have the buts to “test” the gorilla glass anymore.

Looks fake. The Tab didn’t even budge from the “bullet” impacts.

Too bad my Galaxy S was not like this. A rock took out the screen when I dropped it like 2 feet from the ground.

Actually, by definition, any projectile is a bullet. The rocket or pellets thrown from a sling are even refered to as bullets. Plus, the article is quite clear about the fact that these are fired from an air gun which uses a compressed CO2 tank. PLUS, who thought that they would fire an actual gun at a tablet? What personal electronic device on earth would stand up to being fired at with an actual gun? Are you ppl serious?

Well said Jeremy R.
I don’t plan on shooting my Tab but I’ll file this away under “Just in case”.

Video: Samsung Galaxy Tab’s Gorilla Glass takes on 3 BBs
BBs are not bullets… they’re BBs. An obviously misleading title purposely worded for a bigger reaction.

@Jake
Those are not BBs, BBs are hollow plastic balls shot from BB guns, if you were ever shot shot by a BB gun, you would know they are weak, they worst they can give you is a bump and pain for a day.
In this video, the guy uses a pellet gun with compressed CO2 that shoot real pellets, they are solid metal and hurt really bad, bruising you. Pellets guns are capable of breaking glass, i won’t be surprised if if could break normal smartphones.

What about the panasonic toughbook? the screen is bulletproof up to a 9mm but as the tab is not designed for military standards.

Not sure where you got your stats on that, but from what I’ve read about the toughbook, it is the outer shell that is “bullet proof”. I put that in quotations because most article written about the toughbook claim that it can slow a bullet enough to protect you. These are also priced way out of the average consumer’s budget, coming in at over $4000.
The components in this laptop are protected against shock as well as fire and crushing, but nowhere do they claim to have a bullet proof screen. If you have a source that says otherwise, please post a link.

Am I the only one who saw three dots toward the bottom of the screen? Wonder if they wiped off.

Here in Canada, a AIR GUN is not classified as a firearm unless it is capable of shooting over 500 fps (feet per second). That is a cheap BB gun with low power. Trust me I used to own a bunch of these as a kid. I don’t care if people call BB’s a bullet by definition, the by-line and the video was meant to attract attention.
Plastic BB’s are for Airsoft, metal BB’s are for Air Guns.

To my knowledge the tablet is using a normal TFT screen. I work in a retail store with the phone and the tablet, i beat the hell out of the phone every day but, the tablet, is not equipped with gorilla glass, this should be enough to prove it’s a fake movie, now if Bell has the dumbed down version of the tablet…well that sucks.
