Frequently Asked Questions

What happened when a 20mm round hit Humvee bulletproof glass?

A 20mm armor-piercing round fired from a Serbu Typhon rifle completely penetrated the 3.5 to 4-inch thick Humvee bullet-resistant glass. The projectile continued through the glass and into subsequent layers of protection.

What rifle was used to test the Humvee glass?

The test utilized the Serbu Typhon, a 20mm caliber rifle. This bolt-action firearm was provided by Mark Serbu of Serbu Firearms for the ballistic experiment.

How thick was the Humvee bulletproof glass tested?

The Humvee bullet-resistant glass used in the test was estimated to be between 3.5 and 4 inches thick. This substantial thickness is designed for significant ballistic protection.

What was the outcome of the 20mm projectile after penetrating the glass?

After piercing the 3.5-4 inch thick glass, the 20mm projectile went through a thick aluminum block and lodged itself into a second aluminum block placed behind it.
