what if she used a different book on purpose knowing it wouldnt work? i mean why the heck would you switch books with so much at stake if it already worked once?

It would have been a good idea to see if the bullet went through the book before he held it against his chest.
There at one time was something called " Common Sense "
I think they actually tried it with another book at first and it stopped the round just not the 2nd time....
The moral of the story is, use the same book.
different books have different types of paper etc.. if it had worked i probably wouldnt ever have heard about it now its basically national news.
Personally I think even if the book stopped the round he'd have still been killed by the energy of it hitting his chest.
You know nothing about simple physics. If the round don't make it through the book, he doesn't get hurt.
Among the accounts from those who have experienced being shot while wearing a bulletproof vest (and lived to talk about it), there is one consistent analogy to describe the feeling: being hit with a baseball bat...the vest should stop the bullet, but not before forcing the wearer backward or even knocking them down and sometimes with feelings similar to getting the “wind knocked out of you...even severe injuries can sometimes occur even in people wearing a properly rated vest and may include cracked ribs and even behind-armor blunt trauma (BABT), which can cause a wound that appears on its surface to be a gunshot wound.”

Personally I don't think the girl should be punished or looked on badly for this, it was HIS idea.
To quote my old man 'if someone told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?'.
Of course she is an idiot. Who other than an idiot points a handgun at someone and then fires a 300 grain bullet at them hoping that a book stops the projectile?
