This video tests the ballistic resistance of a piece of bulletproof glass against various firearms. The presenter, an experienced shooter, demonstrates how the glass handles impacts from handguns (.22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP), buckshot, a 12-gauge slug, and rifle rounds (7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm M855). The glass shows impressive containment of handgun rounds and buckshot, stopping them without significant shattering, but is penetrated by rifle calibers. The presenter notes the glass's ability to contain impacts without widespread fragmentation is a key advantage over previous materials tested.

Quick Summary

This bulletproof glass demonstrated impressive resistance, stopping .22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, 12-gauge buckshot, and a 12-gauge slug without shattering. While penetrated by rifle rounds like 7.62x39mm and 5.56x45mm M855, its ability to contain impacts without widespread fragmentation is a significant advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of firearms were used to test the bulletproof glass?

The bulletproof glass was tested with a variety of firearms including handguns like the Taurus PT22 (.22 LR), Sig Sauer P365 XL (9mm), and Smith & Wesson M&P Shield (.45 ACP). It was also tested with a Benelli Super Nova 12-gauge shotgun (buckshot and slug), an AK-47 (7.62x39mm), and an AR-15 (5.56x45mm M855 green tip).

Did the bulletproof glass shatter when hit by bullets?

No, a key characteristic of this bulletproof glass was its ability to contain impacts without significant shattering or splintering. While it showed damage and deformation, the material held together, preventing widespread fragmentation, which is a notable improvement over some other types of ballistic glass.

What was the limit of the bulletproof glass's resistance?

The bulletproof glass successfully stopped all handgun rounds (.22 LR, 9mm, .45 ACP) and 12-gauge buckshot and slug. However, it was penetrated by rifle rounds, specifically the 7.62x39mm from an AK-47 and the 5.56x45mm M855 green tip from an AR-15, indicating its limitations against higher-velocity rifle projectiles.

How does this bulletproof glass compare to previous tests?

The presenter noted this glass performed significantly better than previous bulletproof glass tested on the channel because it did not break apart or splatter shards upon impact. It contained the energy and debris more effectively, suggesting it could withstand multiple impacts in the same general area before failure.
