Silicone breast implants are not bulletproof. No material in the actual fake breast will stop a bullet from going through ones body. However, the article focused on an example where the implant got hit with a bullet and saved a woman's life, not because the implant itself is bulletproof, but because it deflected the bullet from hitting a major organ. The CNN article that the text refers to never claims that silicone breast implants are bulletproof. All together this means that breast implants can provide at times a protective benefit, but are not bulletproof in anyway and at times ay not redirect every bullet.
