On mythbusters they shot at the 2" stuff you'd find in most convenience stores and such...they couldn't get a handgun to break through but that 30.06 went through with ease.

I'm kind of suspect of their test because they shot at the same piece repeatedly. As in first tried a 9mm, then a 45... It would have been more scientific to use a fresh pane every time. But nonetheless, handgun after handgun failed...the 30.06 was the last gun tried so maybe it was just weakened.
