THANKS DOC !

the neat thing about being a welder-fabricator is I CAN MAKE THAT ! But I don't have a jeep. So I think an uncivil-war mortar is the way to go. Where do those people shoot their cannons? And would a paper patch have helped? and and and . . .

Back in the early 90s I was working with a crew on a county prosecutors office suite. The reception area we put 1/2" Kevlar sheets behind the drywall and 1 3/8" 'bullet proof ' glass in the windows. On a Friday at quitting time I was walking out with some of the Kevlar and glass. The prosecutor saw me and asked me what I was going to do with the pieces.
I said what do you think I'm gonna do- shoot it!
The sheet goods stopped every handgun bullet we tried. But not rifle rounds.
The glass was a laminated like in this video and it too stopped all handgun stuff. High velocity rifle stuff just went straight through separating the layers.
That Monday I took the stuff back to the job to show the prosecutor and he was quite impressed.
Somewhere I have a hunk of the glass with a 25-20 bullet captured.
BROWN LABS MATTER !!
