It stems from a poor understanding of energy versus momentum, and which matters more for a bullet. Energy = mass x (velocity x velocity) {can't make the squared symbol on my phone} Momentum = mass x velocity Mass of a bullet is of little importance in determining energy. So people think...

I went with a regular dial - I don't like stuff that's more prone to break if there's not a really good reason to use it. And my dial works just fine. My Amsec safe is great, but I did notice their FAQs page was almost completely about issues with electronic locks.

Not just bullets, but thousands of surface to air missiles. http://defensetech.org/2011/11/07/retro-monday-flying-the-sr-71-blackbird/ Technology from 45 years ago.
