This guide details a ballistic test conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, a recognized firearms personality, to determine the penetration capabilities of a 5.56mm round through Optix acrylic plastic. The experiment involved setting up a target of approximately 25 spaced acrylic sheets followed by a dense block of 10 sheets. The results show that while a 5.56 round can penetrate a significant number of spaced sheets, its trajectory can deviate, and it ultimately fails to penetrate a dense stack of 10 sheets, suggesting a limit of around 25-30 sheets for this caliber and setup.
