Bulletproof' Review: Americans and Their Guns by Teo Bugbee. The New York Times, October 28, 2021. A chilling documentary explores how US schools have been changed by recent shootings. All 3 bullet compositions shown to the left are certified to BS 1063 BR4, capable of stoping multiple shots from a .44 Magnum.

The properties of bullet-resistant glass can be affected by temperature and by exposure to solvents or UV radiation, usually from sunlight. If the polycarbonate layer is below a glass layer, it has some protection from UV radiation due to the glass and bonding layer. Over time the polycarbonate becomes more brittle because it is an amorphous polymer (which is necessary for it to be transparent) that moves toward thermodynamic equilibrium. [4] Manufacturers use different polycarbonate plastics to form the middle layer of the glass. Makroclear and cryolon are two common types of polycarbonate plastics. These layers of plastic truly decrease the momentum of the bullets.UL 752 is a widely recognized standard for bullet-resistant materials, including glass. It outlines eight different ballistic levels of protection, ranging from small handguns to high-powered rifles. To meet the UL 752 standard, bulletproof glass must be able to withstand specific ballistic tests and meet other criteria, such as optical quality and impact resistance. National Institute of Justice (NIJ) We don’t make a lot of all-polycarbonate systems any more,” Jim explains. “There are just better solutions for facilities who are dealing with complex threats. This may be the material you want if you need just a straight forced-entry rating and like the darker tint. But if that’s not the case, you’ll probably be happier with a different material.” 5. Glass-Clad Polycarbonate Out of Tragedy, a Protective Glass for Schools by Claire Martin. The New York Times, December 27, 2014. Could an afforable new reinforced glass delay entry to buildings long enough to prevent mass shootings in future?

Tempered glass is a type of glass that is strengthened by heating it to high temperatures and then cooling it rapidly. It is typically used in combination with other materials to make bulletproof glass. Glass-Clad Polycarbonate There are two most common types of resins used for bullet-resistant glass, acrylic and polycarbonate plastic. However, polycarbonate has become the most popular bulletproof glass material that gives the utmost level of protection. 1. Solid Acrylic Bullet Resistant Glass Graphene Proves to Be Superman of Bullet Proof Materials by Dexter Johnson. IEEE Spectrum, December 4, 2014. Graphene can dissipate a bullet's energy better than steel.BR6 Guard House Transaction Window Flat fronted Ballistic Window with opening drawer for document transfer. Night Pay Window / Hatch A flat fronted Transaction Window with opening drawer, typically uses Petrol Stations and Pharmacies Road Warriors by Craig Peterson, Popular Science, March 1991. A slightly dated but still very interesting article about the various cunning features of armor-plated cars.

Bulletproof glass reduces the velocity by absorbing the energy from the bullets. However, it is not fully impenetrable. It means that “bulletproof glass” is more commonly used to describe the product but a more accurate term is “armored ballistic glass or bullet-resistant glass” similar to a “water-proof” watch or “water-resistant watch”. Sapphire gem based transparent armor protects soldiers from snipers". Fox News. October 18, 2018 . Retrieved February 16, 2021.US Patent: US20100024692A1: Blast and impact resistant window pane systems: by Zvika Bar (Oran Safety Glass), December 2, 2014. Describes cutting-edge explosive-resistant glass. Businesses that keep a large amount of cash and precious items like jewellery stores, banks, liquor shops often fear they could be the target of an assault by a gunman and may need something like bullet resistant glass to protect themselves and other precious items. Similarly, administrative departments in the US including local police stations and court houses are also using bullet resistant glasses in the areas which are susceptible to gun crimes. Bullet resistant windows used in the White House is much more robust than the ones used to protect cashier in a bank or executive in a bullet resistant glass cubicle. They are specially design to withstand gunshots even from high-velocity rifles. There is an increasing demand of bullet resistant glasses as countries like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, etc due to ongoing civil unrest and rising instances of violent encounters between protesting factions.
