Lol, the reason he specifies a tommy gun is because it's .45 caliber, and standard 45 ammo is subsonic by default. It will literally only stop that, a standard 9mm will go right through. And knowing the cybertruck, I wouldn't be surprised if they just shot it with a 45 handgun and decided "yup, it stops .45" and never actually tested it out of a longer barrel.

This is not fiction.

That stood out to me too...most guns and ammunition are NOT subsonic because bullets traveling faster than the speed of sound is what makes them effective. Like okay neat your truck can stop a BB gun. But you won't even hear the shot when an M2010 round goes through your door and out the other side.

I just assumed it was a reference to Sonny getting killed in the Godfather. But of course they shoot through the windows in that scene anyway.
