Strange particle clear Down to the Bottom, cascade b at near speed of light. Is it certain atoms are bullet proof?

Depends on what we define as bullet. But I was referring to bullets as the ammo that is loaded on guns, so subatomic particles don't fit with it.

Duh-OH! Once again foiled by cheesy AD&D redefinition! What the heck is a sling bullet? a baby Bullette? No, I guess it is just  a small ball used as a projectile, something a sub-atomic particle may not qualify as even if it is used as a projectile.

     I don't think there are weapons capable of firing projectiles that capable of provoking nuclear fission or fusion, and you can't use a particle accelerator as a rifle or mount it on a tank, destroyer, gunship, bomber or fighter, and anyway, and as I already said, in the context of the phrase, I was referring to bullets as the ammo used on firearms. And also, if it is so important, then I'm made of quarks, and quarks are bulletproof :P

     Finally, provoking fission or fusion while being at 100 ft. of distance from a target is suicide, so atoms are still bulletproof from your wider definition of what is a bullet applied to practical contexts. :P

Does that mean you are strange, too? Or doesn't it matter?

Does it get much stranger than this?
Maybe in a Quark Star which I think might look like this. Kind of getting away from the science ... and the news for that matter!

Speaking about science news, I have something important people here might not know about yet

Behold Trekkies! The Time has Come to see teleporters in real life!

For atoms...
