This video tests the ballistic resistance of $15,000 worth of 1.25-inch thick bulletproof plexiglass against various calibers. While it stops all handgun rounds, including full-auto 9mm, it is easily penetrated by rifle rounds like 5.56 NATO and .308 Win. Even three stacked panes are penetrated by a .50 BMG round, though they stop a .308 Win.
