This video details a DIY challenge to bulletproof car doors using readily available materials like porcelain tiles, construction adhesive, and fiberglass. The creators tested various configurations against multiple calibers, from 9mm to .308 Winchester. Key takeaways include the effectiveness of a three-tile stackup with matte finish porcelain, the superior performance of Loctite construction adhesive over Liquid Nails, and the significant benefit of a fiberglass layer for multi-strike capability. The Flex Seal was found to be less effective at holding fragmented materials together.
This guide details the construction and testing of a DIY body armor plate, inspired by a $30 project. It covers material selection, safety precautions during construction with fiberglass and resin, and a comprehensive ballistic testing phase against various handgun calibers and shotgun rounds. The project demonstrates a cost-effective approach to creating rudimentary ballistic protection, with expert insights into its limitations, particularly against higher-powered rifle or magnum handgun rounds.
