Has no one ever thought of making armor plates with the same materials bulletproof glass is made?
>>27909637
No, you are the first.
>>27909637
Because it's fucking heavy. There are better things like ceramics that work better as hard body armor.
>>27909637
because it would be many times thicker and heavier compared to ceramic or steel.
Could probably just use ar500 op
>mfw they only ship us domestic
For what purpose? So people can see your man boobs under your plate?
Bulletproof glass is heavy as fuck and not as bulletproof as an equivalently size/thick ceramic or titanium plate.

I think that op is interested because of ease of acquisition in comparison to proper armour in restricted areas btw
>>27909662
Ohh that's different then. If you live in a shithole so backwards that it bans personal ownership of body armor but not bulletproof glass and knife-safe gloves, then yeah you could probably smash the two together and make yourself something.
>>27909662
You can buy AR500 steel plate all over the place. Hell, if you were really desperate some of the thicker target gongs would be better than nothing
can you into Aluminium oxynitride, op? is bp glass of the future from the past, but now!

Ive thought about this too.
Mix this technique

But use properly mixed two part epoxy so it actually cures between the layers.
Make it in chunks and do this

You can make very effective armor at home. Im still working out what this kid did. Something about layers and sheer thickening material me thinks.

there is no such thing as bullet proof, its bullet resistant
>>27909637
I take it you've never seen bulletproof glass. that shit is thick as in 3-6 inches thick.

I worked in a factory that made it, worked in a truck shop that serviced armored tractor trailers. thick and heavy as hell. the tractor trailer was neat though, /k/'s ultimate bug out vehicle.

Glass is possibly stronger than some metals and ceramics.
>>27916062
This is truth. Plus you can do some nifty face-hardening treatments at home if you have some high-carbon steels laying around.

Why is this documentary so interesting but so infuriating in its delivery?
>>27916364
Because that faggot from Mythbusters. Not the walrus, the faggot. Walrus is a pretty cool guy.
