This video demonstrates the ballistic resistance of a Humvee bulletproof glass windshield against various high-powered rifle rounds. The testing, conducted by Edwin Sarkissian, showcases the windshield's ability to withstand multiple impacts from calibers like 50 BMG, 30-06, 5.56mm, 45-70, 458 SOCOM, 7.62x39mm, 308 Winchester, and 7.62x51mm NATO, highlighting the effectiveness of its multi-layered construction.

Quick Summary

A Humvee bulletproof windshield, approximately 2.5 inches thick with a 4-5mm plastic backing, was tested against calibers including 50 BMG, 30-06, 5.56mm, 45-70, 458 SOCOM, 7.62x39mm, and 308 Winchester. The windshield demonstrated exceptional ballistic resistance, preventing penetration from all tested rounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thickness of a Humvee bulletproof windshield?

A Humvee bulletproof windshield is approximately 2.5 inches thick. It also features a plastic layer on the back, estimated to be around 4 to 5 millimeters thick, contributing to its ballistic resistance.

Which calibers were tested against the Humvee windshield?

The Humvee windshield was tested against several high-powered rifle calibers, including 50 BMG (API-TR), 30-06 Springfield, 5.56x45mm NATO (steel core), 45-70 Government (extreme penetrator), 458 SOCOM (extreme penetrator), 7.62x39mm, and 308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO).

Did any rounds penetrate the Humvee windshield during the test?

No, none of the tested rounds, including the powerful 50 BMG and multiple impacts from other calibers, fully penetrated the Humvee windshield. The glass showed significant damage and bulging but maintained its integrity.

What is the recommended testing order for ballistic materials?

When testing ballistic materials like glass, it's recommended to start with the highest-powered rounds first. This approach assesses the material's ultimate resistance before its integrity is compromised by multiple impacts from lower-powered rounds.
