Texas Armoring Corporation (TAC) tested an armored Mercedes-Benz SUV by shooting at the glass using an AK-47 while the company's boss sat behind the wheel.

Speaking of complete faith in your company's products, CEO of Texas Armoring Corporation (TAC), Trent Kimball sat inside an armored Mercedes-Benz SUV while the company's sales manager, Lawrence Kosub, opened fire with an AK-47. Result was as expected - Kimball walked out of the car after several bullets hit the car's windshield when he was seated behind the wheel.

The video released on YouTube is an uncut version, which shows Kimball getting into the car, sitting down and getting shot at, in all different angles. This was to prove that he wasn't replaced by a mannequin and his confidence was clearly seen as he sat there and watched the bullets struggle to pierce the front glass of the car.

"When it comes to assuring our clients' safety, we take product testing very seriously," Kimball said in the clip before getting inside the vehicle.

At the beginning of the video, TAC posted a series of warnings that advise viewers against practicing similar acts. The company strongly warns against "recreating" or imitating" the stunts shown in the video.

"Never point or shoot a firearm at a person or vehicle," the company's warning note reads. "Never let someone point or shoot a firearm at you."

According to Huffington Post report, TAC has made armored vehicles for for the Pope, rapper T.I., Steven Seagal and oil executives in West Africa.

TAC also released another video in slow-mo at 240fps to show the effect of the shots more clearly.
