HDDs are much harder to destroy then you would think.
I’m sure a 7.62x51 NATO round would make it quite difficult to resurrect

When your husband shoots a HDD dose all of the platters inside get damaged enough so they can't be read?
I am imagining him shooting them to bits

Try smashing a HDD until the platters inside get destroyed. It's not as easy as it looks.

Have you ever seen a platter from inside of a HDD? It's easy to smash the outer case and circuit board. Destroying the platters that the data is saved to is another story.

With the caliber he uses they're completely mangled by the time he gets through with them.

These platters could turn out to be effective body armour against small arms, the .gov should buy them all up

Are the platters inside destroyed enough to be unreadable? If the platters aren't damaged enough the data can be recovered.

Interestingly enough I realised Usb stocks could be the same - I smashed that and threw it on a fire. But had a failed external drive with all my backups on that needs sorting it. Dismantled it as much as I could and it’s still sitting on the coffee table. Deciding what to do with that.
We do have an air rifle but I’m not a good shot

Too shiny. You would be an easy target to find. Although on a sunny day you would probably blind them.

Awesome tactics, wait 'till it's sunny to attack. Not sure it would be a quick conflict though as that HDD body armour is notoriously slow to load
