In cooperation with NATO ISAF and VAT we did some tests. Of course they were quite different from famous lab tests, but as our soldiesr going to Afganistan soon, we don't think that lab rats advices and test reports will be helpfull and usefull. Here I will post some pictures and later I will make video.

I don't know the name of this NATO grenade exploded under the glass, but it was loud :rollin

As a result of tests we saw that regular car glass with films installed from both sides will help soldiers to survivae in case near explosion of hand grenade and other explosives.....Also we did some ballistic tests. Results was not so nice - but we were waiting it. As M16 which we used and also GLOCK are strong weapons. Also for our films :rollin:rollin:beer

How thick is the installed film? How was the film anchored (batten or wet seal, or other?) Exterior/interior application. .both?

Is there a specific standard there? Type of glass? Thickness? . .just curious if the NATO standard is different than DoD standards here in USA?

Thx

That's not an M16, that's an H&K G3. It fires a 7.62 (.308 win) instead of the 5.56 like an M16.

Don't sell yourself short, it got shot by a bigger bullet!

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaa, thanks Sir! I am not specialist in Your (now ours :barf ) weapons.

Guys told us that will be M16 - 7,62 and other one with 5,56 bullet.

I C. Anycase it passed through - and I have no idea it will work.

Here U can see moment whe ONE bullet from GLOCK were stopped - this moment is pictured

But as we did grenade tests - which we passed, we decide also to shoot.

There were 2 films on each glass.

8 mil - 6 mm regular (not tempered) glass - 21 mil window film

8 mil - 6 mm regular (not tempered) glass - 16 mil window film

It was anchired with piece of metall - I will try to find pictured, deepnes of anching around one inch.

We tested using our ideas and methods. The situation is that standarts are invented by smart heads in labs. These guys will go to Afganistan shortly. We make tests with organization XX Century Wars Veterans Against Terror (VAT) - mainly there are veterans of previous afgan war. As latvian HUMMERS were exploded in Iraq some month ago, we look how can work glass if grenade will explode near, and if it can help to avoid any problems in case instaled on a car. That was our aim. Same tests was done at Camp Marmal military base by German bundeswer forces.....No any standarts "fallen ballZ" :barf - just REAL LIFE TESTS.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
