This video tests the ballistic resistance of approximately one-inch thick, multi-layer plexiglass, commonly used in bank teller windows, against a powerful 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum round. The glass, rated for 357 Magnum, was completely destroyed by the 500 Magnum, demonstrating its inability to withstand significantly higher energy rounds. The test highlights the limitations of ballistic materials when subjected to forces exceeding their design specifications.
This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of a thick, multi-layer plexiglass panel, often used in bank teller windows, against various handgun and rifle calibers. The test begins with .22LR and 9mm, showing minimal penetration. As calibers increase to .357 Magnum and then to the powerful .500 S&W Magnum, the panel begins to show significant damage, with the .500 Magnum completely destroying a section. The test concludes with 5.56x45mm NATO and 6.5 Grendel, which easily penetrate the already compromised or intact sections, highlighting the limitations of this type of ballistic protection against higher-powered rounds.
