BULLET TESTS

[ljr1977]

Leo, we made test today.

Jeep Cherokee (or is it called Liberty in the US?) original glass (I believe it´s 3mm), 7 layers of 14mil film.

First try, 9mm FMJ shot straight up, 4m distance, penetration:

Second try, 9mm FMJ shot at a slight angle, 4m distance, penetration but almost as a cold bullet:

Result: no problem to stop .38 caliber and stuff like that, maybe even 9mm normal bullet form angle. A 9mm FMJ is a very potent bullet and even though it passed through, it was clear in both test that the bullet did loose a lot of velocity, so stopping anything in the .38 range would be very plausable.

did you change the polarity/poles of the film in each layer...I would think it would be stonger if the layers are switched on each layer like north south then east west....

So anymore results on this guys or this as far as youll got??? is there film on both sides or just inside?? yes I think switching mils per layer would help. dont know y but think would have to do with small amount of air left in adhesive ( the glue even though you cant see it )

Looks like Leo was using about a 3/8 inch laminated annealed glass with at least an 8 mil one side (more likely 12mil) and a slight possibility of another on the reverse side.

We have done these tests many times. So much so, that we do not recommend this for vehicles in any way, shape or form. Vehicle glass is just too damn thin, and quite frankly if it fails, you have a potential law suit on your hands.

I always advise potential customers that if they want bullet RESISTANCE they must make major modifications to the window frame, and use at least 1/2 inch laminated glass, and bullet resistant frames as well. (huge money, major modifications and big stress on the sills too). As for vehicles.. same thing.. major customizations, at least 1/2 inch glass that generally can't roll down, and big... big bucks.

I don't want to deal with people that are looking for bullet resistance ( or as they say bullet proof) for vehicles.

why Leo, why?

Are you using a Beretta, when you have the father of the AK in your home country ?

I don't remember - seems it was more than 12 mil

Father AK....It will pass through anything..

Berreta - nice for promotion

[ljr1977]

LEO what type of glass are you using ??

8 mm glass he says... if you have basic glass knowledge you will realize it's not tempered and it's not laminated, so what is it?

I thought tint was a laminate just not between two peices of glass...its backwards instead of 2 peices of glass and one film... its 2 film and one peice of glass..lol

Beretta factory is only 10 minutes from here. After drinking with a few people that work there, no way would I purchase a beretta or benelli.
