I've made new bulletproof glass using acrylic instead of glass! check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7anmKR107TWe4k.html

Wow, it's a lot stronger than I would have guessed. So cool!

Damn, this channel is a gem, glad I found it.

You provide such great material to your viewers. I appreciate all of your hard work. I truly appreciate it!

5 stars for this dudes brutal hands. He wears gloves to cut the polycarbonate to protect it, but handles shattered glass like a savage barbarian with iron skin.

I would think you want fmj, solid copper, or steel core rounds to test "barrier" penetration. Hollow points are designed to spread not penetrate. Optical epoxy or bonding films are used to bond plastic and glass layers.

Definitely the best example on KZfaq!

As with the body armor, I’m amazed at the strength of this setup.

you could make a basic jig to assist in keeping the plates lined up

You look like a mad scientist

Nice work Man, thank you very much for sharing!

I wanted to share with you this product which is specifically designed to bond polycarbonate with glass. The advantages of MMA 3295 structural adhesive have the advantage of excellent resistance to shearing, impact and peeling as well as good temperature resistance.

Man, I’m absolutely amazed! You did a fantastic job for a first time at doing this. Keep up the great work. I want try this, but for an actual larger window size.

It disperses the force of the bullet sideways on impact to minimize damage

you have a sub from me I like the way you break it down into layman terms and understand people work on budgets I will be recommending this channel good job

Very well explained boss ... I loved it .. thanks you can see your talent

Also you wouldnt have to worry about the glas breaking or cracking as long as it doesnt cool rapidly

I might be doing this before i go to Mexico and cover my car up with extra metal plates . " just in case situations turns froggy" on my vacation 😋

U can turn a wood blade backwards on your saw to cut poly carb PVC

Well done mate!

Are you taking polarization into account? Nice work btw

Check this out ruff! LOL Hey man, what are the approximate costs for the materials? Or was it mentioned in the video?

Have you thought about using some kind of clear fiber. To reinforce it

how can this be added to home windows?

May sound dumb but it'll also hold up to say a sledgehammer strike? I assume so given ft/lb of energy from a 357 but figured I'd ask.

Well done man!

how long did you keep in the oven at 300 degrees to meld the layers together?

Thank you for making this this was very cool thank you :) I very much appreciate the ideas I am always curious to see how to make materials so strong :)

I’m wondering about clear flex seal caulking

How would it do against a solid slab of similar thickness polycarbonate?

Why didn't you make a silicone mold to hold the sheets in position?

Would you do the same for bigger sizes of glass The same type of process?

What about a polycarbonate based ballistic armor plate? Laminate HWPE with polycarbonate and fiberglass cloth for multiple layers, cover in ballistic nylon or fiberglass. See what it can stop.

Can unreal engine unlocker, change the controls? I want to see and use my arms in the game like it was made for VR..

My friend has witnessed shootings around and at her apartment building. She is afraid to go in front of the windows. If she was to place a sheet of polycarbonate on a stand in front of the windows, would it stop a bullet?

So, I can not afford bullet proof glass for my vehicle. So, i'm thinking about poly, glass, poly and some how mount it if needed to the interior of windshield. Any thoughts? Waiste of time?

You can make a mixture of proto putty then you can make a nice gasket

Hey tech, that was a great video! It's a shame you appear to have stopped. I'm working on wall inserts that are rifle bullet proof... I'll let ya know how it goes... If you've stopped making vids , it's a shame!

I was trying to figure out what would be the best to make a divider for my vehicle. I am a commercial driver and carjacking is a WHEN not IF situation.

Why not just use all polycarbonate? What’s the glass even for? To say it’s bullet resistant glass?

Our barn in Maine is moving all the time breaking the glass all the time perhaps this will help

Would it work this well with a bigger sheet? Or does the size need to be on the smaller size. I know usually the bigger the glass sheet the more stress it's under. Is the principle the same for bulletproof glass?

Great video man, just wished you would have showed damage results after each round

Why don't you use UV glue for glass to glass bonding it very strong.

I wonder, if using some high grade clear epoxy like West System (used by carpenters as a top layer on countertops) apply between layers to glue them together, will make it stronger.

Thanks so much ... I've got five 3'x6' bay windows on the back of my house. I could get 4x8 plexiglass sheets and cut them down to size. Will that work? Or is polycarbonate better?

Home window size project would probably be expensive.

I suggest you perform all these tests without using hollow points. It seems that almost any barrier, object, type of armor or shielding stops them easily as they start expand, deform or break apart upon impact. I mean they are doing what they are supposed to but wouldn't these tests be more useful or impressive if using FMJ or ammo that is intended to penetrate more than expand to make a bigger wound cavity? Great video by the way! Very informative!

Interesting, how thick pure polycarbanate withot a glass need to stop this rounds?

How would you stop ak47 and bigger cal

I would try making a bullet proof/bullet resistant Shield if it’s not so heavy I can’t lift it

#Taofledermaus brought me here! Im happy i came! 😁

I'm not sure how well the glass would work as part of the mask. (I guess you'll find out :) ) Maybe have flip-down or slide-down visor that covers the eyes, similar to what riot police wear, but on a smaller scale.

How much would I be looking at to gather most of the materials? Just an estimate.

What is the purpose of making the bullet proof glass what like what is it actually for ? or you doing a project or making targets for busting fat ass caps at

Why not add fiber glass and epoxy to the mix?

How will do you think the poly and glass hold up to full metal jacket rounds?

What about using epoxy

How much for you to make this for my car

@Tech this out meow whats better glass and polycarbonate or acrylic and polycarbonate?

How much did it cost, and where are the materials best sourced?

can u make bulletproof glass in curvature.

I didn't watch the entire video and I'm sure you've made improvements but I'm just going to mention this if you truly wanted to laminate all those together if you could have got yourself a gallon of the two-part clear epoxy resin mixitup slathered it on there and then vacuum bagged the entire project to pull the air and impurities and Imperfections out of it and wait for the Cure and then it would have been absolutely solid and perfect and one piece vacuum bagging if you are not familiar with it is very common in the aircraft industry for laminating Composites the honeycomb for flight controls I would get away from using glass altogether because the Plastics that you're using are 40% more clear than glass

All layers of Lexan plastic don't use glass and use adhesive to glue the sheets together no oven just watch for air bubbles.

Very nice. I’d like to get ahold of some polycarbonate

Bro you look just like Sam Hyde but with a shaved head

Cool video ps you look like the guy off the movie split

Could you redo the test with a mount that wont move like you would in a window with them able to move being free range alot of the force is absorbed by being able to move which wouldn't be the casein a ridged window mount.

What???? You didn't use polished clear Aluminum Oxy nitride sheets??? They are about 40% stronger than glass and 60% lighter than glass (or was it the other way around?) This would have given you something like level 4 strength. But I suppose it would have broken your budget

combine this with forcing police to use aluminum ammunition to save lives

I would've used lexel. I put that s^!+ on everything!

You should have laminated it in the frame

Let me make some critiques. 1) hollow points do not penetrate well and are for use on SOFT targets. Use FMJ when testing armored targets. But I'm about to contradict that in a sec. 2) armor has a rating system to tell what the material(s) can handle. While you are well on your way to making nij lvl iiia (3a) armor but using a .357 magnum does not even push the limits of lvl iiia armor. iiia armor is tested with .44 magnum semi-jacketed hollowpoint @ 240gr moving 1430ft/s +/- 30ft/s. that is the nij testing standard for iiia armor. What I'm saying is while you may have a .357 magnum you need to get or find someone to lend you a .44 to test materials like this. I could go into the differences of the two magnums but that's just a long list of nopes when posting it in a KZfaq comment.

Maybe I’m missing it, but how long did you bake it at 300 for?

All that work and you wasted your testing on hollow points smh

Spaceship windows

The first shot ruins visibility, so he should compartmentalize the glass or use all plastic.

That’s 1/4” lexan dude

Your project zorgo aint you

Thats not real bulletproof glass
