Acrylic versus Polycarbonate: the Shotgun

[RayAir1]

1" Polycarbonate (Two 1/2" pieces bolted together):

12 ga 1oz rifled slug: Stopped, first plate of glass blown to three pieces, slug stopped halfway through second plate and left a massive bulge on the back of the second plate (about 5X worse than .44 magnum).

I have recently made a 2" thick polycarbonate target and plan on testing it out against .223 and 5.56 SS-109 Penetrator soon.

We use this stuff at work. me being into ballistics and firearms, welI decided to test some out.

1/2" Polycarbonate:

.22LR- Stopped, although the round penetrated deeply enough to crack the back side of the polycarbonate on the impact spot.

.40 180gr FMJ- Stopped, round penetrated about .300-.400 deep, 99% of the time there were no cracks on the back of the impact spot, just some bulging.

9mm 115gr FMJ- Full penetration of the 1/2" polycarbonate

LOL! You are 1 scary dude! Nice shotgun! 5*

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

bulletproof material is layers of polycarb held together with a tough plastic film. I am not sure if just gluing layers together would do the job. Up for a little William Tell action> We could make you famous:)

[CyberDruidtheModGod]

I MODDED my shotgun lol. Took a Remington 870 from Walmart and cut the barrel down to 18.25" and fitted a Knoxx Spec Op recoil absorbing AR style stock and a Hogue Foregrip and some Tru Glo Hi Viz turkey sites. It's a helluva slug gun now.
