I heared a unproven statement that whenever a bullet is fired 
through the front sloped winsheild of a car vehicle it is 
deflected upward in most cases. and passes right over the head 
of the occupants of the vehicle. 
Is this true. Can anybody please explain the mechanics of this 
process. Thank you.
