Would it be possible to ruin the barrel by shooting at it from the side? Or would it just ricochet?
The barrel is thicker than the armor on tanks. Usually they weigh in at over 2 tons of steel. The circular shape also makes it very likely to deflect the impact like sloped armor.
It might make a little ding in the paint.
They are designed to withstand huge pressures while maintaining their structure.
She must be very strong if she can hold up 4 tons of steel.
