The old Apple iMac went through an attack of 14 bullet shots, and the inner data did not get compromised. An unusual tough test of the machine brings forward the strong structure of the unibody aluminum chassis.

Unibody aluminum chassis protects internal components from 14 rounds

All-in-one Desktop pc proves to be very strong in terms of getting smacked from outside. This is an important thing for buyers and collectors to remember.

And the event is a hard hitting reminder of the strength of this machine. Here is an older generation iMac with a 500GB hard disk drive that passed a barrage of bullets.

The images of the broken computer were shared in the eWasteFinds subreddit by Reddit user u/Affectionate_Emu_675. The title of the post seems like the shooter was trying to wipe out the data from the hard disk drive.

In the community discussion it seems like the owner was maybe trying to improve their shooting skills. The shots left multiple bullet holes on the unibody aluminum exterior of the machine.

There were bulges on the body due to the impact as well. Surprisingly the inside components are mostly untouched.

There is no sign of the destruction of the hard disk drive 500GB and the motherboard. The tough build quality let the inner components be resilient enough to survive the bullet impacts, which would have broken a laptop.

The original poster is yet to confirm the main reason of the shooting. Though it's posted as trying to wipe out the data, there is a debate among the community about the motive of the shooter.

The hard disk drive is still working and the data is saved. This is the story of how strong the older Apple desktop machines are.
