This video features a comprehensive test of homemade bulletproof glass created by 3r Ballistics. The host, from 1ShotTV, evaluates three different panels, starting with pistol calibers like 9mm and .44 Magnum, progressing to rifle rounds such as 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm, and culminating with a .50 BMG test. The results demonstrate the varying effectiveness of each homemade panel against different threats, highlighting the material compositions and their impact resistance.

Quick Summary

Three homemade bulletproof glass panels were tested against various calibers. Plate 1 (pistol-rated) stopped 9mm, .40 S&W, and .44 Magnum. Plate 2 (light rifle-rated) stopped 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm but not .308. Plate 3 stopped .308 but was penetrated by .50 BMG, demonstrating varying levels of protection based on composition and thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different compositions of the homemade bulletproof glass tested?

The video tests three plates: Plate 1 has two 1/8" polycarbonate, a 1/2" acrylic, and a 1/2" polycarbonate layer. Plate 2 includes three 3/8" glass layers, a 1/2" polycarbonate, and a 1/8" polycarbonate layer. Plate 3 is made of four 3/8" glass layers and two 1/8" polycarbonate layers, with a welded metal frame.

How did the homemade bulletproof glass perform against handgun calibers?

Plate 1, rated for pistols, successfully stopped 9mm, .40 S&W, and .44 Magnum rounds. The .44 Magnum caused significant damage to the polycarbonate but did not penetrate, suggesting it can handle most handgun threats.

What rifle calibers could the homemade bulletproof glass stop?

Plate 2, rated for light rifles, stopped 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm rounds but was penetrated by .308 Winchester. Plate 3, a thicker panel, successfully stopped .308 Winchester rounds, indicating a higher level of rifle protection.

Did any of the homemade bulletproof glass panels stop a .50 BMG round?

No, the .50 BMG round penetrated Plate 3, causing extensive damage to the frame and the glass itself. While the glass remained surprisingly intact for the impact, it was ultimately breached by this heavy caliber.
