One's Man Quest To Find Out If Captain America's Shield Can Take Your Head Off

From Popular Mechanics

Jerry Miculek loves Captain America. Before testing out his homemade titanium Captain America shield, Miculek gives a rundown of all the things he loves about the leader of Marvel's Avengers: "he's not just a patriotic solider that stands for what America is, but instead stands for what America should strive to be." He's giving this monologue while wearing a Captain America costume, right before he shoots a Colt .45 at his shield. This is all well and good, but now Miculek, who on his YouTube page claims to be the "arguably the fastest & most renown shooter to ever live," has decided that defensive measures are not enough. He wants to see how his shield will perform as an offensive weapon.

The answer is extremely well. Miculek's shield is made of solid titanium, and he chucks at it what he calls "an exact duplicate of the human body, has all the organs, consistency." He jokes the dummy is a bad dude, "with a rap sheet as long as my leg," and proceeds to take the dummy's head clean off. "Head shot!," he exclaims, and is then taken back by the power of his weapon. Ribs get cracked, there's internal bleeding, and again, there's no head left. When the Civil War comes, it looks like Miculek's picked a winning side.
