First of all, welcome to Dakka!

This section of the Boards isn't for discussion of rules queries, but for house rules and fan-written rules changes. Questions like this would probably be better suited to You Make Da Call or Warhammer 40k General Discussion. No foul though, it's an easy mistake.

I do not have my book in front of my so I cannot cite a page number, but an Invulnerable Save is a type of saving throw that ignores the AP value of the attack, meaning that you can always take it, even if the attack's AP is equal to or lower than your Invulnerable Save.

They also work against Power Weapons, Monstrous Creatures, and pretty much anything that ignores armor saves. There are only a few weapons in the game that ignore Invulnerable saver.

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

And as far as fluff goes, invulnerable shields are such things as energy fields, deflector shields, simply moving too fast to be hit, pure luck, deflection through psychic power,etc.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

And unlike armor saves vehicles occasionally end up with Invulnerable saves due to fast movement or Eldar Titan Holo-fields.
