Video games can be real life savers. They reduce stress, keep your mind sharp, your kids distracted, and they can even take a bullet for you. Wait, what’s that last one?

Redditor RabbitMix recently shared a rather amazing (and terrifying) story with the world. Late at night, our Redditor was at his gaming computer when he heard a loud pop and the sound of breaking glass. While startled, he didn’t think too much of itโ€ฆuntil he found the hole in his wall.

“I was at my desk playing Prey last night, and soon noticed the cloud of drywall dust in the air and a bullet hole to the left of my monitor.”

Thankfully, RabbitMix wasn’t hurt, but what happened to the bullet? He began investigating and foundโ€ฆ

“I started looking for where the bullet had ended up and my heart sunk as I saw this hole in my Elder Scrolls Anthology. In [there] is where I found the bullet itself, right in the expansions for Morrowind. I didn’t think to take a picture before the police came and they took the bullet for evidence, so no pic of that…sorry.”

Holy crap! I thought this kind of thing only happened in movies, but apparently, the Elder Scrolls Anthology packaging is so hefty it can actually stop a damn bullet. You can check out all the images, below.

Considering how close that bullet hole in the wall was to our Redditor’s monitor, a major tragedy may have been narrowly averted. If you feel like you need some protection, The Elder Scrolls Anthology is selling for a reasonable $75 on Amazon.

Oh, and hey, in one final happy twist, Bethesda has reached out and offered to buy RabbitMix a new copy of The Elder Scrolls Anthology. Now, who’s going to pay for the hole in his wall?
