A rectangular piece of Lexan (plexiglas) 12x8x1" at 20 feet: .38 Sp SWC from a Colt Det Spec- marked plexi where hit, didn't crater the material noticeably, bullet vaporized. Little to no effect. 9MM parabellum FMJ- shattered material. | ||

But did it penetrate? Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Here's a bunch of pix on Kevlar Helmet penetration. http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot29.htm and on glass http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot6.htm The glass gets more and more compromised until the 12 ga slug really busts it.

Steve, thanks for the links on penetration tests! Quite an education. Don't rob a bank without a 45/70! Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||
