Are sniper rifle scopes bulletproof?

Yes and no. if you fire a high power rifle into the scope of a sniper rifle there ar so many lenses in the scope that the bullet would slow down and get deflected out the side of the scope, so while the sniper is still alive, he is now rendered harmless because his scope is torn open and most of the lenses broken. Update: after a mythbusters rvisit to this it was found that if the enemy sniper was using a scope from the ’70s and the sniper shooting used an armor piercing bullet, you could shoot through the scope and embed a bullet in your enemy’s brain.

There are no telescopic sighting systems that are bulletproof. In fact, it would be a truism to say that a rifle scope is the most delicate assembly found on of any rifle, and is subject to misalignment if even moderately jarred.

Nothing is truly “bulletproof.” Field optics are fairly rugged, but not bulletproof, at least none that I’ve used…

Hell no! I’ve had a round slap the scope clean off the top of my rifle while I was aiming through it!
