This video details a rigorous test of $15,000 worth of bulletproof plexiglass against various firearm calibers, from .22 LR to .50 BMG. The experiment, conducted by Ghost Mountain Group, demonstrates the significant difference in penetration power between handgun and rifle rounds, and even the formidable .50 BMG. The test culminates with stacked panes successfully stopping .308 Win rounds and enduring sustained full-auto 9mm fire, though the cumulative impact eventually causes the panes to topple.

Quick Summary

Frequently Asked Questions

Can bulletproof glass stop a .50 BMG round?

In the test conducted by Ghost Mountain Group, a .50 BMG round penetrated a single pane of $15,000 bulletproof plexiglass and also penetrated all three stacked panes, indicating it is not sufficient protection against this caliber.

What calibers did Ghost Mountain Group test against bulletproof glass?

Ghost Mountain Group tested a range of calibers including .22 LR, .38 Special, 9mm Hollow Point, .45 ACP, 5.56 NATO, 7.62x39, .308 Win, and .50 BMG against their bulletproof glass setup.

Did the bulletproof glass stop .308 Win rounds?

Yes, when three panes of the bulletproof glass were stacked, they successfully stopped a .308 Win round, with the projectile being halted in the second pane.

How did the bulletproof glass perform against full-auto 9mm fire?

Against three stacked panes, sustained full-auto fire from a Glock 19C using 9mm ammunition (FMJ and Hollow Point) was stopped. However, the cumulative impact and weight eventually caused the glass panes to fall over.
