I Made Bulletproof Glass With Basic Materials

Can I make bulletproof glass with no experience? I attempted some different methods to see what makes the glass able to stop bullets.

Stopping green tip is nothing to scoff at, there are even some hard body armors that can't! You sounded sarcastic about the "wicked" 5.56 but that chunky boy was thoroughly bullet proof.

[@bigchooch4434]

Those are pretty poor level 4 plates then, or it's level 3 or 3+ which isn't designed to stop rifle rounds. Level 4 hard armor has to stop a single 7.62 nato black tip (or 30-06 AP round) which has WAY more speed and energy than M855A1 EPR (green tip 556). I'm not sure what hard armor you're referring to that can't stop green tip, even AR500 can.

[@000Mazno000]

Did I say level IV plates?

[@damole7874]

Soon as you mentioned the resin being soft I had an odd thought. Can you make bullet proof candy? Layers of brittle with taffy or melted licorice between? ... Its a strange morning..

[@octaviusmorlock]

Why does this seem possible?

Epoxy is a suboptimal resin for binding glass for this purpose. "Resin" comes in a thousand different varieties and PVB is more like hotglue rather than 2-component epoxy.

[@nanaki-seto]

PVB is similar to double sided clear tape. Unlike the resin you used it remains flexible more like rubber than plastic. When using it to laminate glass you place down a sheet of glass then apply the pvb sheet to the glass then lay on the next sheet of glass and apply heat and pressure to remove air bubbles. It does not take much heat or pressure to do it. A hot plate turned on after the glass pvb sandwich i laid on it with say some ply wood and a cinder block laid on the plywood is enough pressure and let the hot plate heat up to a couple 100 deg f will be more than enough then you turn off the hot plate and let it all cool down. To rig it up for shooting it for testing you would want to make a wooden frame around it and a dense rubber material say archery target matts or rubber mudflap material between wood and glass around the edge of the BP glass panel. You can screw the wood together

[@mikeboyce21]

Framing the glass and also having polycarbonate on both sides would have really helped it stay together. Just incase theres a next time.

[@DracoSafarius]

Yeah what I was noticing. The materials are good, but there's no outer frame to really secure them (it being a small surface area doesn't help on shock absorption either, but can't expect him making a huge panel)

[@lw8882]

The fact that it stopped anything at all is kind of amazing.

[@CaedmonOS]

I'm pretty sure bulletproof glass is usually held in place. Therefore, does not expend momentum moving

[@Darkassassin09]

The polly carb goes on the back to contain the glass fragments instead of spraying them towards the stuff/people your protecting.

[@raigarmullerson4838]

Love the content. Cheers from Estonia

[@clayton8or]

FYI some ballistics information here, the green tip 5.56mm used (also not .556, that would be over a half inch in diameter, its actually .22cal just going very fast) is green due to the designation M855, which includes a small steel penetrating tip that did much better than a full soft projectile.

[@korewakyouki]

They did say they couldnt afford an expert soo they had to hire a weapons novice

[@1rstTry]

I prefer to classify it as eco friendly 😊

[@QWERTYZ1CATS]

Id definitely explore using a more rubbery resin like you mentioned in the video.

[@xtsm_ketchupx2055]

LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!

[@jacobjudge9056]

You're supposed to shoot the glass side that way the pieces don't get blown apart because the polycarbonate is what keeps the glass together and not shattering into your face after it's been shot as you saw in your second shot of the bulletproof glass you made

[@Wishbonegreco]

I love these videos so much!

[@Ne1vaan]

The back layer on commercial bulletproof glass is poly to collect spalling. If glass side was the back it'd send shrapnel in - it is visible in the first successful piece you made! E: I needed to watch like a minute more! HAH!

What? Why would you re-anneal toughened glass? Any glass supplier will be able to provide annealled glass, it's just standard glass. Surely that would be cheaper/faster/easier.

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

Great Video Guys if you can understand how armor platting is made on a WW2 Battleship built proof glass is made almost in the same manor with different types of layers of protection .. On a Battleship the Armor - Plating on different parts of a Battleship the armor plating has cement between the armor plating to absorb an in pack from a heavy shell you were close to making armor plating do a little homework and do a revist Happy New Years Guys

[@BlandWaffle]

you should make a suit of armor out of bulletproof glass

[@_hunta__]

nice vid 👍

0:11 That room and lighting reminds me of the "I feel fantastic" video

[@FireNinja7365]

[@Danielhofjr]

I've seen lots of things on KZbin, I don't think I've seen anyone make bespoke bullet proof glass. Please continue down this physics rabbit hole. For my own enjoyment.

[@gsestream]

outside view is for fancy only. try metal sheet walls (steel container, can) filled with concrete or plascrete (resin + sand in concrete style mix), yep bulletproof glass is just concrete block roughly. try kinetic sand inside a steel can.

[@FrancisSims]

Quality internet video

[@AnCapGamer]

14:09 it's 5.56 OR .223. and GREEN TIP = Green-tip ammunition is most common in 5.56/. 223 Rem caliber and is mainly designed for use with the AR platform. These rounds were originally considered controversial, as they meet one of the criteria of the federal definition of armor-piercing ammunition.

[@tasaki12]

fun fact for not the gun junkies, green tips are armor piercing rounds with a steel core, really good at penetrating things

[@Lasagna_mint]

Polyvinyl Butyral is a type of resin, it is also called polycarbonate

[@Buugipopuu]

Is this channel really about showcasing the many versatile uses of resin?

[@Randomactivities2.0]

Frame, they need frames to prevent extreme separation.

[@Shrek_Has_Covid19]

cool video

[@ScriptCoded]

Please please please make a full window!

[@Gogeta70]

You're supposed to shoot the glass side. If you shoot the polycarbonate side, the glass explodes off the other side and into the face of the person you were trying to shoot. Aside from that, I think you may have had better test results if you had bolted the glass into a steel frame that compresses the glass together as well, since the glass would be installed into a building in a similar way. It would help to keep the layers from separating when you shoot it.

[@MIVD]

Good sir you need PVB as a inner layer 😂 finally get to telll someone!

[@a15thcenturysuitofgothicarmor]

[@ofp8574]

I wonder how it would go if one were to alternate between layers of acrylate and glass, so as to have a cushioning effect between layers and thereby offer some form of damping effect.

[@thisboycray9417]

2:10 muted it as you explained about glass and didn’t realize it 🤣

[@windowsfan95]

You should try to do the same thing, but whit the glass mounted inside a car door to see how the glass and door ends up looking.

[@HaynesJP]

I feel like it needs to be mounted to a frame to actually test if its bulletproof. A lot of energy was lost when the front piece came off the Big Mac.

[@TwinShards]

Just use 10cent penny as spacer. This should be one problem solved :D

As a guy who works for in a glass shop, taking tempered glass and making it into annealed its the expensive and hard way. 3/8 plate glass shouldn't be hard to get. Even 1/2 shouldn't be hard to find.

No. You can however, try to make 'Bullet Resistant' glass.

Usually we want bullet proof glass, because our face is going to be on the site opposite from the bullet. I'd say in this case we want the glass to be the strike face, because otherwise we get a face full of shards. EDIT: yup

On the question of the title. No, it not possible to make bullet proof glass without experience since you building experience while making the glass.

how do you clean up millions of tiny shards of glass though@@nickc5610

[@AdmiralDG]

​@@nickc5610Im guessing you have never cleaned broken glass. Even on a high vis smooth floor its near impossible to get all the tiny, splinter sized, shards picked up. Now try in snow and dirt with leaves... exactly. Unless they industrial vacuumed the whole area, its likely glass remained. They could have done this in an indoor range where it would be contained and easier to clean. They did this outside because they didnt want to pay a range any fees. Also, just because someone says they did something, doesnt mean they did. People lie. All the time. Especially to seem nice and/or like a good person. Welcome to humanity.

LOL it would not have stopped the 30 06 even if it was the first shot they are way way more powerful than 556. Higher velocity and much heavier. 556 223 are basically faster .22 rounds with more weight and not much more weight 22 250 are faster and same weight as a 556 but 30 06 beats both in terms of penetration energy dump all of it

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to shoot the plastic side. It stretches and absorbs the energy even as the bullet starts to pierce and crack the hard second layer. That's kinda just a guess I'm no engineer but I've seen a good number of videos about this stuff.
