CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas, June 1 (UPI) — A Texas man used an unusual tactic to demonstrate the durability of his HTC smartphone — he showed how it can stop a .22 caliber bullet.
The video, shot Tuesday in Corpus Christi, shows the man placing his HTC Android smartphone on a wooden step while its screen is turned on to show it is functioning.
The man then takes aim at the phone with a .22 caliber handgun and fires off a round, which knocks the phone from the step.
The filmer picks up the phone, showing the screen has been shattered, but the bullet failed to pass through the phone.
