On the topic of defelecting and glancing bullets, Shooting Gallery (hosted by Michael Bane) on the Outdoor Channel did a show on how bullets could deflect/glance off of a brick wall and why you only wanted to expose as little as you could when shooting from cover. So yeah, I bet some bullets do deflect off of windshields under the right circumstances.
Yeah .25 can kill you stone cold dead, can empty a 9mm into a crazed bad guy and he may still kick your arse, a .45 can fail to stop a bad guy (but he is one tough SOB!!! LOL) but like kenno said "In the end it is all about circumstances and bullet placement."
A relative had a hard time taming the .38 snubbie she purchased for self defense. She couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it. I switched her to a .22 and she was making GOOD hits on water jugs from 4-20 yards. She couldn't repeat this with the .38 snubbie though. She could hit with a full size 4" .357 shooting .38's. So I told her, "either get a full size 686 or a .22 because she could hit with them both". She replied, " I like the snubbie better and feel like that is the gun for me." I then replied, "A miss with a .38 is still a miss, and a hit with .22 repeatedly is a HIT". She got the point and the 686 :)
