Klem,
Your point about a fictional movie script while Myth Busters attempts were of an actual event.
The fact is scopes have been shot and Marines remained in the fight using the back-up sights on the ACOGs, Trijicon has/had some of the scopes. Admittedly the bullets didn’t penetrate completely.
Hopefully no more firefights but better to be prepared. Failure can either be damage to the scope (not getting the scope back in operation) or debris of some kind that can be cleaned up when time permits.
My experience that good quality scopes with good quality mounts are not often damaged from falls, drops etc. unless a lense is struck. Cheap stuff on the other hand… I have seen more temporary failure from getting the lense(s) dirty.
S/F, FOG
