Brassiere belays boob-bound bullet, begetting bruised breastbone

Where's Ms Bee when you need her?

Clearly the Reg is lacking in knowledge of female clothing.

Underwire is not "wire lining". Not even in Old East German bras.

As Stork says, a rebounding bullet (wtf is a rebounding bullet? it's a bullet - not a basket ball) will be unstable and would have shed most of its energy. It certainly would not be likely to kill her.

About the minimum you'd need to kill a person with a direct hit to the chest would be a .22 and that would cut straight through an underwire. I have shot .22s through a car door [details redacted] and that's way stronger than any underwire.
