The glass isn't bullet proof, although it's toughened. The body panels are supposed to be bullet proof (obviously only up to a certain point, as nothing is ever bullet proof against everything).

I think the bullet proof nature of the panels is more of a happy accident with the stainless being used just being very tough to begin with.
