Who here shoots guns and likes/knows what AR500 is?

I will have to humbly disagree with that 100%

Steel is actually quite safe, its the type of steel that makes it safe. You do not get ricochet's with AR500 or harder steel due to the fact the bullet breaks up on impact. This has been proven with countless hours of highspeed video I paid to have taken years ago.

There are also things like the degree of obliquity that help in preventing any possible bullet fragments coming back at the shooter at close range (under 30 feet from the target). Its extremely safe.
