Videos tagged with Laminated Glass

This video analyzes a critical incident where a deputy engaged an armed suspect through a vehicle windshield. The analysis, led by John Correia and Mike Willever, highlights the unpredictable nature of firing through laminated glass and discusses the tactical necessity of creating a 'porthole' to mitigate bullet deflection. It emphasizes the bravery of the deputy while also pointing out areas for tactical improvement in communication and shooting from a vehicle.

This video demonstrates a practical experiment by firearms instructor Edwin Sarkissian, testing bullet accuracy when fired through a vehicle's windshield. Using a Glock 17 and 9mm FMJ ammunition, the test establishes a baseline accuracy and then measures the deflection and trajectory changes caused by shooting through laminated glass. The experiment highlights the importance of understanding how environmental factors affect projectile performance.

This video analyzes an incident where Houston officers responded to gunshots, leading to an officer-involved shooting. It highlights the tactical decisions made by Officer Havelka, the effectiveness of modern duty gear like red dot sights and WMLs, and discusses ballistics related to firing through vehicle glass. The analysis is presented with an instructional tone, supporting law enforcement tactics.

This guide details the advanced technique for shooting through a vehicle's windshield, as demonstrated by Karl from Tactical Rifleman. It covers essential safety gear, the physics of bullet interaction with laminated glass, and specific methods for both pistol and rifle engagements. The instruction emphasizes managing projectile deviation on the first shot and achieving stability for subsequent shots by establishing a clear path for the firearm's barrel.

This video from TheFirearmGuy tests the penetration capabilities of 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP rounds through a laminated automotive windshield. The expert instructor demonstrates proper firearm handling and safety while conducting a practical ballistics test. Key findings indicate minimal bullet drop, with some calibers causing significant glass displacement and secondary impacts on the target.
