    I've seen door panels stop a .40 S&W Barnes round and just a little above that a subsonic 22 passed through.

    Too many variables at play. Sometimes it's a few layers of sheet metal and other times it's many layers of formed frame.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    Most modern cars wont stop even pistol bullets, to say nothing of rifle rounds. The Ford Crown Vic /Lincoln Town Car/Mercury Grand Marquis is one of the last types of body-on-frame cars produced. Modern day cars on unibody frames dont have that much mass to play with. The Box o' Truth tested an old 80's Buick and found even .22LR would go through a cabin-a conclusion I verified in person when an acquaintance ND'd his XD carry gun ,putting a .45 through his leg and out the door of his '05 Nissan.
