OK Maybe you couldn't kill it with bullets, but I've seen twinax in
walls pierced with screws to mount drywall. I've seen customers slice
out walls and take the twinax with it. I've seen 16" Steel I-beams cut
to allow large fork lifts to pass and oddly the twinax laying in that
was sliced as well.
Further I've seen twinax simply pulled right out of the connector. I've
seen two wire extension cords used thus removing the ground and wiping
out an entire string of terminals. I've seen a pile of twinax thrown up
on top of a conference room ceiling ended up laying on the fluorescent
light. Every time the light was turned on or off that string of
terminals went down!
We kinda remember the good parts but man when Twinax didn't work there
were a thousand things to check!
