Pro shooter tests bulletproof Captain America shield - CNET

It's not every day you see a famous competitive shooter dressed as a Marvel superhero.

But in the video "Real-life bullet-proof Captain America shield," host and pro shooter Jerry Miculek dresses as Captain America himself and tests the round shield the Avenger would never enter a battle without.

"We have created the first functional version of his mighty shield," Miculek says in the video.

Since Miculek and his team didn't have any Vibranium Steel (an alien metal that was used to make the shield in the comics), they came up with the next best real-world equivalent, solid titanium. The shield is made to the proper size and weight of 12 pounds, "just like in the comics," Miculek says.
