I saw an episode of Mythbusters on Thanksgiving that surprised me. The myth was of a story where one sniper shot another sniper through the others scope - with the shot going straight through the scope and through the snipers eye.
They lined up 2 sniper rifles and started at 100 yds - tried it 3-4 times and none of the rounds made it through the scope (new scope each time). The last one they fired from near point blank range - the round was still stopped by the lenses of the scope. The ballistic jelly dummy never was hit.
