Yes, it was tried at Myth Busters and the phone book did stop the .22 bullet, also a pack of cards, like to play poker, also stopped it, perhaps a Zzipo lighter did too.

Yes; a thick phonebook can stop a .22. Those bullets are really quite small.

It depends on how far the phonebook is from the gun

It probably depends on the size of the phone book. The Los Angeles phone book, maybe. But frankly I wouldn't really want to hold one up and give it a try.

No, I personally tried it, and that bullet just zinged right through that book straight to my heart. Yet here I am telling you about it when I should be at my grave.

That would depend on how thick the phone book was and how powerful the handgun was.

I don't know. Why don't you try it? And let me know what happens.
