On a physics note, I'm curious about the ability to hold an encyclopedia that's being shot by a .50 caliber bullet. Even if the encyclopedia could stop the bullet, it seems like you'd come out of it with two fractured thumbs and a massive encyclopedia-shaped bruise on your chest. Could a person really hang onto a book in that situation?
I recognize that they probably weren't thinking that far ahead, so this question isn't about the people involved. It's a physics question.
