>>equivalent amount of destructive force as a Volkswagen Beetle traveling at 100 mph.<<

Which would be the first VW Bug to actually hit that speed.

I assume the mean for the driver of the Beetle.

I wouldn’t want to stand in front of one, but it doesn’t seem like that would do much damage to a hardened target.

Nonsense. I had one years ago that would do 100MPH no problem.

Turbo drag bugs are pretty quick, very embarrassing to Mustangs and Cameros.

.
Back in the ‘70s I used to do about 120 MPH in one on the sand between Guadalupe and Oceano for the midnight cruise. (engine was somewhat modified)

Seems like some missed this:

“.. at a speed that’s so high that when the rounds hit their target, they’ll be carrying the equivalent amount of destructive force as a Volkswagen Beetle traveling at 100 mph.”

As in—”32 times over.”
