Surmet's ALON® Transparent Armor 50 Caliber Test

[Illumirage]

Surmet, you're going to need a new logo. The one you have looks like a 12 year old made it in about ten minutes.

[Blurns]

@Illumirage No, it just looks artifacty.

[Illumirage]

@Blurns

Well not only that, it just looks rather uninspired. Two tapered off ovals, the name in the middle w/ the amateurish lighting effects applied. Yawn. Sorry, was a corporate branding/graphic artist/logo designer guy in college and currently...

[Blurns]

@Illumirage Ok yeah, I can tell logos are something you feel far more strongly about than I.

[Illumirage]

@Blurns

Hahaha!

I don't know, it just caught my attention. Take care bud.

[Noblyuntruthful]

not bad, not bad at all.

Glass FAIL

[valereydyachuk]

Try an armor piercing .50 cal round next time and we'll see a BIG FAIL.

@valereydyachuk

We already see a BIG FAIL. The round used in the testing was M2AP (and I bet even you can guess what AP stands for).

[valereydyachuk]

@zRxz There are many different types of armor piercing .50 cal rounds. M2AP cartridge is used against lightly armored vehicles, protective shelters, and personnel.

I would love for them to pick something a bit more challenging such as:

Cartridge, Caliber .50, Armor-Piercing-Explosive-Incen­diary, APEI-169, M02

or

Cartridge, Caliber .50, Armor-Piercing-Incendiary, Mk 211 Mod 0.

Pissed off mob bosses who take out other mob bosses tend to use the "good stuff" and not some cheapo junk.

@valereydyachuk not the mob bosses i know

Like transparent Aluminum! :-D Only better, because there's no way aluminum could stop that projectile or exhibit the hardness described.

@lobosolorzano ALON's a ceramic.
