I'm pretty sure they didn't shoot up the DB5, by the way, that was a real DB5, in Goldfinger they called it a DB5, but it was actually the last DB4, that was rebadged, and indistinguishable from the DB5.

I have a counterpart at Sony who is checking for me, but here is my rationale. 1) When the bullets hit the front of the "DB5, they made dents in the paint. Any bullet, even a 22 would have gone right through the aluminum body. 2)they showed bullets hitting the windshield but not going through, see comment #1 above. 3) they showed the roof being blown off, the way a DB4, 5 or 6 was made with a tubular steel frame, the roof acted as a pretty good roll cage, and would not come off, unless they cut it first. My $0.02 on the matter, and I thought the same thing as well until I thought about it. BTW, I used to own a DB4 for 35 years, and I work in motion picture production safety in Hollywood.

Again, I have a colleague at Sony who produced the film that is double checking for me. He wasn't there, but a local UK safety consultant was there.
