nalgene bottles, are they really that strong? Options

[blogdeleted]

hey.

the nalgene bottle is quite strong and tough, and ive heard rumors about how strong they are (all statements below exclude the bottle cap):

1. it is impossible to break the nalgene bottle in one shot.
2. if one were to shoot the nalgene with a rifle, pistol, or shotgun, the bullet will ricochet off and the bottle will remain intact.
3. the bottle can withstand one or more sticks of dynamite, and will not blow apart in one go.
4. acid can be put in the nalgene and the nalgene will still be intact.
5. the bottle will not break in one smash or grind, from a super-hard smash of a hammer to a runover of a truck or bulldozer.
6. the nalgene can withstand fire, but will soften after burning for a long time.

thing is, i heard of them, but i dont think its true. in fact its kinda sounds like the 'invincible material' in which is impossible, i.e. it sounds like bs.

so what do u ppl think?

Nalgene bottles are made of Lexan, which is an incredibly durable plastic that is also used in the aerospace industry to make aircraft canopies and windscreens. It's not "indestructable", but it's pretty tough stuff.

If you do break your Nalgene bottle, you can send it back to the company for a replacement. Sometimes they even send you more than one back.
