This video is 7 years old. Have any improvements been made and has the product gotten cheaper?
My future "drywall" for sure!
You should consider selling composite fiberglass/ceramic composite armor. I applied 4x4x1/4" Coorstek AD-96 tiles to a sheet 9/16" UL-3 fiberglass to defeat 7.62 NATO 148 grn AP (Tungsten-iron core) @ 2850 fps, with minimum 3" spacing. The ceramic adds 4.8# per square foot, for a total weight of 9.8# per square foot and 13/16" thick for better protection than UL-8.
Crushed gravel between studs screw the plywood and sheeting do some interior walls for safe room's
but then the stud isn't bulletproof
The wall would be too heavy and break through the sheeting.
@@TheNotSoFakeGilbert Unlikely a bullet would go all the way through a stud, it would depend on what you are using it for. If you live in the hood, most of those are just pistols as a rifle is too big to carry around.
@@abacab87 lol what kind of magic studs do you have
@@TheNotSoFakeGilbert Well they are old growth forest, but they are over 100 years old. The studs get brittle with age, I can frequently shatter them with my hammer. My wall took two bullets on New Years, the stud stoped one, the other one went though the wall, which was 1/2 osb and 1/2 inch drywall, ricochet off the kitchen cabinet and embedded in the back panel of the cabinet which is 3/4 plywood (yes I make my cabinets good)
Branch davidian's would approve.
Sooo, I can defeat it with a saw....LMFAO
The point isn’t to allow an intruder an a hours to setup a saw and cut it, it’s mostly intended for stray bullets or panic situations. This real life not a movie and no one is carrying a diamond blade saw!
Did Mike Judge do the voiceover😂 ? dammit bobby!😂
God Bless You & Your C ompany
Thank you! Same to you friend.
Armorcore and armorcore accessories.
Alex McBeth i’ll tell you whut!
Why would you have a security door that relies on electrical and mechanical means?
What is the maximum temperature your panels can take
591 degrees, pretty hot!
thanks for showing this idea of making bulletproof materials‼️
my friends and relatives in Ukraine fighting for their country and their families with strongest and dangerous aggressor in the world
we looking for every way to help them save lives
if you can please help to develop level 3+ level 4 improvised DIY step by step method to make SAPI plates for our patriots and civilians in Ukraine
easy made stand alone plate has to withstand against 7.62×39 LPS Mid Steel Core and 7.62×54R LPS Mid Steel Core rounds which Russian army troops commonly uses
in general it equals 30-06 rounds but have some specifics such as a small steel penetrators inside bullets in the middle ...
Bullet "absorbing" drywall. There's actually a market for this. Oddly more so in higher crime neighbourhoods. As there have been a few incidents of people getting shot while watching TV by a stray bullet not intended for them. Ironically people buying homes in those areas won't be able to afford your product. Nor will any builder choose your product building a home...unless it's a custom home.
Have you tested your drywall in a cold climate? e.g. -30c winter. I mean, for some one building a custom home...even if a random shooting is highly unlikely in such areas ("elite" neighbourhoods) ...why not use bullet "absorbing" drywalls on exterior walls?
I think most people out there don't even know about your product. Especially people not into the shooting sports/recreational shooters/hunters. Maybe you should also market your product to custom builders and the civilians building custom homes.
Hi AndersonC. I have to agree with you, there is a market out there. We do market in a lot of places. We offer free classes to architects, engineers and construction personnel. We are listed in MOST of the databases/ listings available for all builders. Manufacturers do not always sell directly to the public, but we do! You can buy one board, or 100, from us.
Safe rooms have become more common place now, so we are seeing that incline. But even with that, some panels placed in strategic locations can also help.
We have been tested to exactly that degree, as a matter of fact! The UL 752 certification handles that.
Thank you for your comment.
We all want this.
Give us a call... we can talk about you having this.
How does this hold up to natural elements? Rain, snow, desert heat + humidity, below 0 temperatures, floods (prolonged exposure to standing water). What is the maximum effective lifespan (assuming it isn't shot)?
This is all made out of fiberglass and it is known that fiberglass does pretty good in heat, and even water per say. This material is at least 2 times better than wood at absorbing fires and also floods. Think of it like cement, but on a weaker scale. Just to point something out fiberglass is put into concrete to make it even stronger and even though fiberglass in itself is not water resistant if it is layered and smashed together like this it can withstand even the harshest floods.
Love this!!!
Do the screws compromise the armor?
Anytime the material is drilled through, it is compromised.
HOWEVER, we have two options to negate this issue.
1. Batten strips behind the seams/beams/studs (where ever you have it coming together). We sell Batten strips that are 8, 9 and 10 feet long x 4 inches; they are designed specifically for joints.
2. Adhesives. There are quite a few adhesives that would work, we suggest PL Premium.
I wonder why more stores don’t use this on their doors and windows instead of fragile wood during these troubled times ?

The big box building supply stores don't carry it. You have to special order the stuff, and when the "peaceful protesters" start rolling into town there's no time to be picky.
Quite a bit do install it. You just wouldn't know, because they are covered by drywall. Its just a normal looking wall when all is said and installed.
is that better than concrete wall?
Hi Cali818 xxx. That is a great question.
Our product is held to a standard, which means we go through random testing all year long, from the Utilities Laboratory. UL 752 is the standard we have to adhere to. Very specific bullets, shot patterns, specific distances, lots of things are involved in their testing.
I do not know what contractors would validate concrete wall standards at.
In cases like mine, I can't just build a concrete wall in an existing house, so this would be easy to install.
I wonder how much will it be for a full house🤔
Hi Charlie Ave,
A full house would be quite an undertaking. Give us a call for a quote.
I bet you would be surprised at our pricing.
I would like it delivered by the sheet to my Four Story house with a concrete truck for a lower 2nd. Basement
You would have to contact us to a quote. 254-752-3622

What size do the sheets come in ?
Go to 1:30
icf...
way cheaper an more effective to just fill the cavity with aggregate
Hmm so all i need is a drill and jigsaw to get through. Thanks!!

@@WattsUpDev it doesn't take hours to set up a saw lol. you do know that there are cordless saw in the world today
No, you'll just need a few cocktails and a light.. then aim for the roof or other soft spots such as the under-easements.
Perfect for when armed thugs with tin badges decide to force entry with no warrant. You can barricade yourself in a closet fitted with level 8 armorcore. Wait for the tyrants to make entry, and unload on them with an origin 12 shotgun full of high powered slugs with a 30 round drum.

Waste of money. Just build a Monolithic Dome home to begin with. Bullet PROOF and FAR more energy efficient. Cheaper too.
bob bob
Show where I said that "building a dome is cheaper than retrofitting a single room." Or, drop dead. I'll give you 1 day to do one or the other. Vid pls if you have to do the latter.
@@patrickeh696 Fuck off idiot boy
Wouldn't it be easier to put ar500 plates in your walls
Project military memorial jeep zj .300 blackout can penetrate
Project military memorial jeep zj Wouldn’t that be too heavy for a regular wood framed house? Plus, cutting the plates or fastening the plates could be pretty darned difficult.
12GaugePadawan and multiple boards cutting and heat /ac 🤷🏽♂️ too many variables
@Mr.t Whitie What happened to you keyboards ?
@Mr.t Whitie Sand bags in between walls will stop just about any shoulder weapon and sooooooo much cheaper.. Downfall, your walls will be wider but secure..
