Bulletproof HP myth?

Hewlett Packard decided it would be cool to see if one of their high end StorageWorks xp 12000 Disk Array systems would take a bullet for the team. The result? A Mythbusters style take on high-velocity .308 calibre M80 round meets pressed steel and silicon. The irony is the best comedic moments are the warnings that are provided at the end of the clip - by end I mean the last 2 minutes.

It should be noted the original source had a truly abysmal download performance so I have taken the liberty of re-encoding in stream friendly quicktime.
