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.
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.
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..
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.
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
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)
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.
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
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.
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.
Shoot the glass side. The reason is the poly-c side is used to prevent glass flying at the people it is designed to protect. Of course you can put plexi on both sides, but you could put tempered glass over the plexi on both sides for clarity and scratch resistance.
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!
I remember hearing stories about how the US military had a lot of excess Ballistic glass and not enough armor plate for their vehicles... so they just used the glass on the doors to stop the IED's with the glass/tin penetrators (Explosion make the metal/glass form into a superheated cone that can punch through armored plate) anyway it worked well enough until soldiers were posting stuff on social media and the bad guys knew the thickness and penetration so they just tweaked the design. Anyway, not sure why I remembered this specifically, maybe that Ballistic glass story impressed me and that stays with me to this day.
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.
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.
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.
I've seen lots of things on UA-cam, I don't think I've seen anyone make bespoke bullet proof glass. Please continue down this physics rabbit hole. For my own enjoyment.
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.
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
I lost track of this channel. I used to watch them back in middle school. Whatever happened to the OG weirdos that founded this channel?? These guys just don't hit the same
They were burned out following the changes to the algorithms so they sold the channel to Patrick Adair and his brother who is the main person here. They seem to be happier now that they can stop making videos, got paid, and the channel lives on
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 real tho... you arent leaving a bunch of glass shards in the forest are you? you dont know the amount of glass I have hauled out of places.....seems a tarp or tarps would solve that
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.
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

So your saying it should be possible to make a bulletproof cyber truck if Tesla tried harder?
Framing the glass and also having polycarbonate on both sides would have really helped it stay together. Just incase theres a next time.
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)
I'm pretty sure bulletproof glass is usually held in place. Therefore, does not expend momentum moving
The polly carb goes on the back to contain the glass fragments instead of spraying them towards the stuff/people your protecting.

I prefer to classify it as eco friendly 😊

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

>video about making bulletproof *glass*
>looks inside
>resin
Id definitely explore using a more rubbery resin like you mentioned in the video.

The good bulletproof glass is aluminum, oxygen, and nitrogen (ALON/aluminum oxynitride) and glass layered.
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!

You should frame the glass first to hold all layer together and prevent the glass from flying around
fun fact for not the gun junkies, green tips are armor piercing rounds with a steel core, really good at penetrating things
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.
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.

Frame, they need frames to prevent extreme separation.
"A piece thick enough it could be a mom in a pixar movie." ...😂😂😂
Love the content. Cheers from Estonia
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.

you should make a suit of armor out of bulletproof glass
5.56 mm not .556 caliber
0:11 That room and lighting reminds me of the "I feel fantastic" video
They reallh should have used a tarp for all that glass.
Instructions unclear: Put my tempered glass into my oven at 1000 degrees F, house is now on fire
Is this channel really about showcasing the many versatile uses of resin?
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.
Polyvinyl Butyral is a type of resin, it is also called polycarbonate
Just use 10cent penny as spacer. This should be one problem solved :D
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.
Time to play with different resins to see what's better 🤷
On par with the OG bulletproof video!!!!!

Works better when the strike face is the harder material to break up that bombaclot bullet!
1:47 thank you, i never knew what they were saying
Technically a waterjet video
I'm wondering something, if it was held in place, maybe it would have made a different result ?
I lost track of this channel. I used to watch them back in middle school. Whatever happened to the OG weirdos that founded this channel?? These guys just don't hit the same
Theres a video about it on the channel, think it’s maybe a month or so old
Oh okay thanks@@lucassvedlund3851
tl/dr they don't wanna. they got real jobs now. so they left it to these guys.

@@Yoshikaable I watched the video earlier
How did you clean up all that glass? 😮
The dollar signs to hide the gun for demonetization was funny, well done lol
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
No. You can however, try to make 'Bullet Resistant' glass.
What about water in the middle?
Loved the weapons novice!!!
Use lexan as first plate and last.. Its more flexible.
did you clean up the mess you made or did you leave the glass shards to be discovered by a barefoot hiker.?
Please please please make a full window!
LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!
Some bulletproof glass is transparent aluminium
Now will the glass lasagna stop a rocket?
It's 5.56mm, not caliber - the caliber version is .223.
Oh that's why it didn't survive you shot it with a .556 caliber gun
You're supposed to use a 5.56 mm gun
Quality internet video
Reading ".556" hurt lmfao
Stopping a 556 round isn't bad.
why not manufacture / purchase and attempt transparent aluminum also transparent wood .
I love these videos so much!
you should do something like this with slowmo guys
how u do all this and not research the correct strike face
Should have put something behind the glass so we could see the potential damage if we try this at home 😂😂😂
What happened to the original 2 guys on this channel?
on the real tho... you arent leaving a bunch of glass shards in the forest are you? you dont know the amount of glass I have hauled out of places.....seems a tarp or tarps would solve that
Very cool video. Now I know .556 is the way to go.
5.56 mm
.556 is above a 50 cal
You could have cut some of those jokes.
But I am glad you didn't.
Need more gun vids
Video is a yes indeed
I hope you cleaned up all the glass shards you left in nature
nice vid 👍
love this video!
Damn i miss the old crew.
Don't go hiking barefoot behind Bountiful… 💀
The glass is to spall in diameter
My brain quits working at this time of year, so no sciency stuff and have a happy new year guys.👍
Bro said M855 green tips were standard ".556 caliber"
Weapons novice moment
2:10 muted it as you explained about glass and didn’t realize it 🤣
Holy crap, is that Marvin Gaye?
You should have used a jelly resin
Resistant*
Do you have a percinal channel?
Good sir you need PVB as a inner layer 😂 finally get to telll someone!
yes it is
what is blud yapping about 6:56
Wow hot off the press.
First video got 10m but this one didn't even reach 100k😂😂 its bc you mentioned that 10m vidoes😂
Make it with hot glue instead.
The Big Mac is tiny now... It more like the size of the billionaires greed.
I can cut wood with my hand¡???
22LR?
YES DADDY we love BULLETPROOF glass that was a huge thick layer at the end
I wonder if using hot glue would work well as the binding 'resin'
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.
