Hi Scott, here in Brazil calibers more commonly used by gangsters are .38 Spl, .380 ACP, 9mm and, sometimes, .40 S&W. It seems that for this calibers the shield is more than enough to protect policeman in service. Other calibers are exotic here, and bad guys with rifles are not confronted with short weapons. Alias, never seen an equipment like this shield here in the Northeast of Brazil, this kind of inovation you can see more in Rio or São Paulo. Not only me, but many brazilian sport-shooters and lawmen are watching your videos frequently and are aprochiated. Many thanks for your service!!!
My brother in arms, I've never seen a single cop from the Military or Civil Polices with those in São Paulo, also I do not think they would use those for apprehensions either since we use rifles and pistols either way, maybe those aren't in use yet.

Stopping one bullet is better than stopping no bullets. Also guntubers seem to be single handedly keeping the folded table market profitable with as many as they go through.
Scott is doing his part to keep the population of folding tables under control, if left unchecked they could take over the regular dinning table population and I heard even the coffee tables aren’t safe from these vile creatures.
At first glance i thought this was stupid, but it seems to work... A bit impractical but i can see how this could potentially save your life. Interesting
It’s definitely not a bad tool to have for certain instances. Rushing in with full soft/ hard armor on body + helmet. at least w this covers the facial and hand areas, now we need better models, less weight.
Imagine having two people breeching, one carrying a big shield and the other resting this on top of the police shield to take the shot while protecting the hands and face. Makes a bit more sense that way.
@@Nylonscheme Most of the weird solutions found in Brazilian law enforcement/military stuff stems from requirements for urban combat. Brazil has very little in terms of enemies, but it has a massive issue with drug and weapon trafficking, so anything (quite literally) that helps in hilly urban maze combat helps. Also, the shield seems impractical otherwise, but if you consider that even flintlocks and Mosin Nagants have been used by the police to fight, something mobile and small that can save your head in a favela shootout (something that above all is REALLY dynamic, requiring a lot of running and stopping) isn't so absurd.

This shield on first look made me chuckle, but after seeing the video I’m genuinely impressed. Seems pretty effective and efficient use of material for its use.
It’s like the opposite of the dumb and dumber scene “what if he shot you in the face!?!?” What if they shoot you in the gut? Well that’s a risk we were willing to take
just surviving the first face shot is pretty damn good. you could return fire, duck and go looking for new pants. One thing to note is that the actual shields have a heavy rubber ring around them, so while they may still break apart, the pieces may not fly everywhere.
At the end of that intro, I was half-expecting you to walk away shouting "What's up everybody, my name is Scott, and today we're finding out what a punt gun does to an RV!"
If, instead of a solid piece of polycarbonate, it was a laminate of polycarbonate sheets and some kind of tough plastic sheet glued together (like a windshield) it would likely hold together a lot better for the more energetic rounds. Also some kind of rubber bushings around the mounting points may help the durability.
I would wager that they consider it more practical to have an easily/cheaply replaceable shield. Realistically even though what you describe would probably hold together better, it would also be a lot more expensive to manufacture, and once it had taken a single bullet (from any gun) the safety of the shield would be considered compromised and would have to be replaced. The purpose is also only really meant to stop one bullet in a given scenario, as it's unlikely a criminal would manage to score multiple shots in that small window before being stopped.

BUT, if an officer needs face protection on a traffic stop, it does what it is supposed to do: stop the officer's face from eating lead on the first shot while allowing the officer to have his or her pistol already targeted on the perp.
For those who didn't understand... This is a prototype designed by Pedrinho Reis... About a month ago, he posted 2 videos on his channel showing the shield. One of his videos had English subtitles, but due to some factors, the subtitles didn't come out accurately. Remember that Portuguese, especially the language spoken in Brazil, is a very complicated language. All this difficulty in Portuguese ends up being a big problem when translating into English. We have to remember that in Brazil, unfortunately, there are few who are fluent and understand English, causing many to use online translators or artificial intelligence translation services. Due to the inaccuracies in these translation services, Scoot may have misunderstood some of the information.
Portuguese itself is not a complicated language to translate. It's just that Brazilians alter it with slang words to the extent that at times the formal written language becomes almost irrelevant when translating. This "translator barrier" is also present in most languages, which is why Google is only reliable when the formally written language is used.
@@alanwatts8239 You're right, slang really does make it difficult to translate subtitles in this situation. But it's not just slang that makes it difficult, the language itself can make it difficult in some cases. Brazilian Portuguese has many spelling rules that make it difficult for Brazilians to understand the language, and for foreigners, writing Portuguese can be an even greater challenge. An example is that depending on the sentence and the context, we have different ways of writing the word "because": "can be written together or separately with spelling accents" Still talking about slang, we have a very funny example: Paul Cabannes, a French comedian who has lived in Brazil since 2015. He performs stand-up shows focused on the cultural and social behavior of Brazilians from a foreigner's perspective. He, like many foreigners here in Brazil, has difficulty connecting with the customs and use of informal language. It is also worth remembering that Brazil is a multicultural country, with people from all over the world, from Russians to Koreans, from Japanese to Germans.
@@alanwatts8239 slangs ain't the worst. We change a lot how we pronunciate and structure our sentences due to the influence of so many different immigrants coming to Brazil in different regions. Northeast sounds insanely different from South, almost like a variation of the language (like European Spanish and Latin American Spanish) to someone from outside.
Helpful hint for future Plexiglass uses. Use a torch lighter, pass flame over the edges, it will become clear and let you assess depth of penetration from the sides.
For my Brazilian brothers who never saw one of these in action, I've seen one on a video recently, I dont remember if it was on a CQB training with Joab Costa (a legend who was a mountain Comando on French Foreign Legion) or something else. I think the first to receive theses shields will be the more privileged units. With our current secretary of public security here at SP I can be more optimistic than people from other states.

I always wondered why we didn't have non electronic red dots like this but the normal size with just a small dot and circle reticle etched in the glass
@@Darthdoodoo1x prism optics already exist, but they’re heavier than comparable red dots (would likely mess with pistol slide reciprocation) and can only be viewed with your eye at a specific distance and angle to the optic. They work great on long guns, but just like regular red dots, they have their pros and cons
Lamination is the key to stop the shattering. Rather than one thick section of acrylic it should be multiple layers of acrylic (PMMA) and thermoplastic or polyvinyl butyral film.
I'm also thinking that a frame around it as well as a bigger mounting plate so that it's not just replying on 2 bolts. The mounting plate could also cover your hands for an added sense of security.
I suspect one major critique is that after it takes a round it's going to be cracked and provide a more obscured sight picture. I've never tried it personally but I suspect having a round through your face also hampers your ability to acquire a sight picture too though.
Scott, if you keep the RV stored on the gun range you can claim it as a mobile office used as a video editing studio, break room area, weather shelter, and bathrooms while working and write it off on your taxes! Just show some clips of you doing some work in it like the "live commercials" for your sponsors and meeting with your range guests and it will be legit! Put a roof shelter over it to protect it from the weather and getting leaks though!
I've been telling a couple friends that are way more into rock crawling than me, to do separate little incorporation/dba, sponsor each others' yt videos, and bam, rock crawler is a business expense. I dunno if that would really work though.
@@5w3d15h if the rock crawler is used in the making of their videos, and if they get money from the videos, it is a business expense. If no money is being made off the videos yet, then it can be used on their taxes under hobbies but the write off is different. They also need to look into fuel receipts for the crawler and the vehicle used to pull it, and if the tow vehicle is used solely for transportation of the crawler they can do depreciation of the vehicle value, or fuel used, or mileage, depending on if it's business or hobby and what is allowed under each designation. They can even get into costs of camera equipment etc, but need to check into all that with an advisor.
I've worked in the glass industry going on 37 years now and I've installed a significant amount of this product. I've also had the good fortune to have access to quite a bit of it(whether it be scratched, damaged or just scrap) and I can tell you for a fact it becomes totally ineffective when it's either hard mounted or the pieces are too small. It need to be able to flex to absorb energy. I can also tell you that in its multi layer laminated form it's far more effective. 5 layers of 1/4" can withstand far more than a single 1 1/4" piece. I've never seen single layer 1 1/4" used for anything much smaller than 4'x4'. I can also tell you it's better at stopping high velocity small caliber projectiles than it is at stopping heavy slow moving ones.
I can attest to the multi layer being stronger. I took a tour of a military contractor in ST. Louis, they have a sheet that has a .50 caliber projectile, seemingly frozen in time. Due to the fact that it was over 40 years ago, I don't remember if it were 5 or 6 inches thick.
@@R4in46 a specific branch of US law-enforcement they have jurisdiction over all of their assigned state. They mainly do traffic enforcement on highways and carry out warrants and other high risk tasks.
I feel like that concept would work better with something like an MP5 or other SMG; something two-handed, possibly with a stock, else it would feel too heavy on the wrists too quickly.
Engineering perspective: 1. they need to be a small amount larger in size. 2. They also need to be two-pieces of lexan/whatever, laminated. That shattering and shrapnel is a NO GO.
Also, maybe refraction needs to be taken into account (obviously this is not for precision shooting but still). Adding rubber bushings on the mounting points might improve resistance since they would dissipate some of the impact if the shield is hit.
I'm not super sure whether it's necessary to make it much bigger in order to be effective. It looks like it does a good job covering the head and the hands when aiming down the gun, at least from whatever you're aiming it at. I'm reasonably sure that when used properly this should reduce the likelihood of getting shot in the face or hands by a very significant amount. Getting shot at with a gun is never going to be 100% safe but this looks like a decent middle ground between nothing and a full ballistic shield.
It works fine against the most common calibers used by street crooks in Brazil. Now, the organized crime in the favelas have all kinds of heavy artillery like ARs and AKs but the police force won't go there armed only with pistols. All and all, it's an interesting new concept.
while it didnt resist after 45 acp round, the fact that the shield stopped it from harming the dummy should, theoretically, give the cop using it one last chance to return fire and save its own life before the attacker fires a follow up shot. In practice, it would take some masive nuts and disciple to not mess up your aim after having that thing explode on your face. Would some sort of training allow this scenario to be acomplished? how would it be? Personally, i believe this would be more practical on something like an SMG, because on a pistol, the shield nullifies the posibility of carrying it on a holdster making it annoying to carry around. SMGs on the other hand can carried on a sling. Excellent video Scott, thanks for the great content
These have been tried before in many places and the question always comes down to "what will happen to the wrists if it's hit with a 12g slug" and the answer is always 'well, I'm not gonna find out.' A lot of prisons have something like this specifically for shooting through the food slots.

You have to remember that the key to lexan's bulletproof capabilities is the layers of plastic to hold it together once it shatters. You can't just use a solid piece of lexan. You have to make a composite with some plastic layers.

Put one of these on an AR! No need for the ballistic shield. Well, as long as the "Boys" are protected. Is there a balistic CUP out there? Looks weird but it is a cool idea!
If Scott finds any more ways to talk to himself in videos, Ryan George is going to file a lawsuit for gimmick infringement. "So, you have a high recoil pistol for me?" "Yes sir, I do"
Just a reminder: Attorney Tom Grieve interviewed a man that was shot FIFTEEN times with .45 and survived. Six of those shots absolutely mattered. "The Lord's Caliber" didn't defeat the shield in use today. It was a solid piece of Lexan instead of layered.
Considering that in Brazil, access to legal firearms is very difficult, while access to illegal firearms is easy, illegal firearms are predominantly .380 revolvers and .380 pistols. Most urban threats in Brazil involve these calibers, making this shield very effective. I felt proud of my Brazil with this invention.
Lógico que adianta, ele nao é penetrado por handguns de alto calibre; Ele se quebra. Algo que o torna perfeito para confrontos urbanos de menor periculosidade.

One out of a couple reasons why I love firearms is feeling the recoil. I don't have any fun firing a small caliber firearm.

All this difficulty in Portuguese ends up being a big problem when translating into English.
We have to remember that in Brazil, unfortunately, there are few who are fluent and understand English, causing many to use online translators or artificial intelligence translation services.
Due to the inaccuracies in these translation services, Scoot may have misunderstood some of the information.
That's what Deepl is for
Portuguese itself is not a complicated language to translate. It's just that Brazilians alter it with slang words to the extent that at times the formal written language becomes almost irrelevant when translating. This "translator barrier" is also present in most languages, which is why Google is only reliable when the formally written language is used.
@@alanwatts8239 You're right, slang really does make it difficult to translate subtitles in this situation.
But it's not just slang that makes it difficult, the language itself can make it difficult in some cases.
Brazilian Portuguese has many spelling rules that make it difficult for Brazilians to understand the language, and for foreigners, writing Portuguese can be an even greater challenge.
An example is that depending on the sentence and the context, we have different ways of writing the word "because": "can be written together or separately with spelling accents"
Still talking about slang, we have a very funny example: Paul Cabannes, a French comedian who has lived in Brazil since 2015. He performs stand-up shows focused on the cultural and social behavior of Brazilians from a foreigner's perspective. He, like many foreigners here in Brazil, has difficulty connecting with the customs and use of informal language. It is also worth remembering that Brazil is a multicultural country, with people from all over the world, from Russians to Koreans, from Japanese to Germans.
@@alanwatts8239 slangs ain't the worst. We change a lot how we pronunciate and structure our sentences due to the influence of so many different immigrants coming to Brazil in different regions.
Northeast sounds insanely different from South, almost like a variation of the language (like European Spanish and Latin American Spanish) to someone from outside.
@@alanwatts8239 ChatGPT can translate perfectly even with heavy slang.
Helpful hint for future Plexiglass uses. Use a torch lighter, pass flame over the edges, it will become clear and let you assess depth of penetration from the sides.
For my Brazilian brothers who never saw one of these in action, I've seen one on a video recently, I dont remember if it was on a CQB training with Joab Costa (a legend who was a mountain Comando on French Foreign Legion) or something else. I think the first to receive theses shields will be the more privileged units. With our current secretary of public security here at SP I can be more optimistic than people from other states.
É Sempre assim, aqui no Amazonas só quem tem fuzil diferenciado, OVN, capacete balistico, plate carrie com placa de ceramica é a companhia de operações especiais. Como se a convencional que adentra becos, vielas e trocam tiros com piratas dos rio não precisasse desses equipamentos. O cénario da segurança pública é horrivel.
@@Levy556Só da segurança pública? Da educação, da saúde, da economia, da renda per capita, do desemprego, do transporte público também. Brasil só piora a cada ano. Mesmo pagando todo imposto possível e um pouco mais ainda você só ver o país indo pro lado contrário. Definitivamente tem algo errado com a administração pública desse país.
You are only a reticule away from the BIGGEST RED DOT EVERRRR!!! 😂
I always wondered why we didn't have non electronic red dots like this but the normal size with just a small dot and circle reticle etched in the glass
Ruger made one, the readydot.
Check out the Trijicon MGRS
@@Darthdoodoo1x prism optics already exist, but they’re heavier than comparable red dots (would likely mess with pistol slide reciprocation) and can only be viewed with your eye at a specific distance and angle to the optic. They work great on long guns, but just like regular red dots, they have their pros and cons
@@Darthdoodoo Its cause holosights function as if they were a lasersight except that the enemy cant see the laser dot.
nothing makes aiming a pistol easier than making it heavy as hell.
Work out more

Lamination is the key to stop the shattering. Rather than one thick section of acrylic it should be multiple layers of acrylic (PMMA) and thermoplastic or polyvinyl butyral film.
I'm also thinking that a frame around it as well as a bigger mounting plate so that it's not just replying on 2 bolts. The mounting plate could also cover your hands for an added sense of security.
Awesome to see that .44 round stuck in the polycarbonate as it flies off screen, defo stopped it penetrating but probably no good for a second shot. 😂
I suspect one major critique is that after it takes a round it's going to be cracked and provide a more obscured sight picture. I've never tried it personally but I suspect having a round through your face also hampers your ability to acquire a sight picture too though.
Scott, if you keep the RV stored on the gun range you can claim it as a mobile office used as a video editing studio, break room area, weather shelter, and bathrooms while working and write it off on your taxes! Just show some clips of you doing some work in it like the "live commercials" for your sponsors and meeting with your range guests and it will be legit! Put a roof shelter over it to protect it from the weather and getting leaks though!
I've been telling a couple friends that are way more into rock crawling than me, to do separate little incorporation/dba, sponsor each others' yt videos, and bam, rock crawler is a business expense. I dunno if that would really work though.
@@5w3d15h if the rock crawler is used in the making of their videos, and if they get money from the videos, it is a business expense. If no money is being made off the videos yet, then it can be used on their taxes under hobbies but the write off is different. They also need to look into fuel receipts for the crawler and the vehicle used to pull it, and if the tow vehicle is used solely for transportation of the crawler they can do depreciation of the vehicle value, or fuel used, or mileage, depending on if it's business or hobby and what is allowed under each designation. They can even get into costs of camera equipment etc, but need to check into all that with an advisor.
@@5w3d15h it only offsets the earnings from the business. so if the business has no profit, there's nothing to write off.
When you wanted to feel the recoil of both your gun and your adversary's gun:
@ 15:52 Holy moly! Even I felt that.😁
You didn't have to tell us it was Brazilian. CLEARLY it is is, look how smooth and clean it is, for easy pistol insertion. NICE.
Lmao
You *HAD* to go there, didn't you...
Absolutely!😂
Take my up vote! Lmao.
😂😂😂😂😂
Scott, you need to weld the sheets together. 1 1/4" sheet of poly and 1 1" sheet of cast acrylic. It must be cast acrylic
Your intros always make my day better. thank you. 🙏
I agree dude
As a Brazilian citizen, surprised to see KB covering this thing!
I've worked in the glass industry going on 37 years now and I've installed a significant amount of this product. I've also had the good fortune to have access to quite a bit of it(whether it be scratched, damaged or just scrap) and I can tell you for a fact it becomes totally ineffective when it's either hard mounted or the pieces are too small. It need to be able to flex to absorb energy. I can also tell you that in its multi layer laminated form it's far more effective. 5 layers of 1/4" can withstand far more than a single 1 1/4" piece. I've never seen single layer 1 1/4" used for anything much smaller than 4'x4'. I can also tell you it's better at stopping high velocity small caliber projectiles than it is at stopping heavy slow moving ones.
Idk. It stopped them all while being cheap(well at least should be cheap)
@@stompingpeak2043 well, it's not cheap....it's between $1200-1500 a sheet
I can attest to the multi layer being stronger. I took a tour of a military contractor in ST. Louis, they have a sheet that has a .50 caliber projectile, seemingly frozen in time. Due to the fact that it was over 40 years ago, I don't remember if it were 5 or 6 inches thick.
@@johncoleman2495 but a sheet could produce how many of these small shields?
Yep. I also thought that it was too hard to be effective against higher energy projectiles. Unable to flex or cushion == broken.
I knew you were a cop, but I never knew you were a state trooper. That is really cool.
Thank you 😊 💙💙💙💙
Easy dude @@Pkilk, maybe he or she missed that one..

Hello from Brazil, thanks for testing some equipment of our military police, I love your's videos
Some of the most beautiful women on earth and great food. You guys are underrated 😂 10/10. your military equipment is also pretty dope.
@@chrisquiett1776thx ❤
You can see the impact point from the .44 magnum just kind of float after the bullet impacts and ricochets. That's wild!
Its surprising how well that held up. It didn't crack like glass, so it could still be easily seen through.
This actually make sense you can peak behind / cover return fire without risking your head blown off .
That .90 ACP is cool AF. The Brazilian Police Shield is a cool concept. I could see that saving some hands and heads.
I feel like that concept would work better with something like an MP5 or other SMG; something two-handed, possibly with a stock, else it would feel too heavy on the wrists too quickly.
rip a bot stole your comment
Exactly what I was thinking.
Scott you are the most entertaining GunTuber by far, love your videos, I'm gonna pick up one of your shirts.
Engineering perspective:
1. they need to be a small amount larger in size.
2. They also need to be two-pieces of lexan/whatever, laminated.
That shattering and shrapnel is a NO GO.
Also, maybe refraction needs to be taken into account (obviously this is not for precision shooting but still).
Adding rubber bushings on the mounting points might improve resistance since they would dissipate some of the impact if the shield is hit.
I'm not super sure whether it's necessary to make it much bigger in order to be effective. It looks like it does a good job covering the head and the hands when aiming down the gun, at least from whatever you're aiming it at. I'm reasonably sure that when used properly this should reduce the likelihood of getting shot in the face or hands by a very significant amount. Getting shot at with a gun is never going to be 100% safe but this looks like a decent middle ground between nothing and a full ballistic shield.
It works fine against the most common calibers used by street crooks in Brazil. Now, the organized crime in the favelas have all kinds of heavy artillery like ARs and AKs but the police force won't go there armed only with pistols. All and all, it's an interesting new concept.
The intro has heavy 'Pucifer - Conditions of my Parole' vibes lol
'And as you can see it's 1 1/4" thick, which is actually pretty darn thick!'
Thanks Kentucky... I needed to hear that😭😭
Yes I love guns
Needs a brace around it maybe. Like all bullet resistant glass. It sits in some sort of brace
while it didnt resist after 45 acp round, the fact that the shield stopped it from harming the dummy should, theoretically, give the cop using it one last chance to return fire and save its own life before the attacker fires a follow up shot. In practice, it would take some masive nuts and disciple to not mess up your aim after having that thing explode on your face. Would some sort of training allow this scenario to be acomplished? how would it be? Personally, i believe this would be more practical on something like an SMG, because on a pistol, the shield nullifies the posibility of carrying it on a holdster making it annoying to carry around. SMGs on the other hand can carried on a sling.
Excellent video Scott, thanks for the great content
Scott's range is an allegory for his mind and his multiple personalities
15:42 that is the coolest .357 I have ever seen.
I think that is one of the new Henry’s.
mental as anything....love it...
These have been tried before in many places and the question always comes down to "what will happen to the wrists if it's hit with a 12g slug" and the answer is always 'well, I'm not gonna find out.'
A lot of prisons have something like this specifically for shooting through the food slots.
LEAD FOR DINNER!
If I had a choice, I would rather risk my wrists than my head.
Eu sou brasileiro não vi nenhum desses escudos, não soube nada sobre esse protótipo! Mas legal da sua parte tentar trazer algo do Brasil.
É um protótipo em uso pela PC de SP, mais especificamente pelo GER.
@@silvawill89 Imagino se seria útil de alguma forma para a polícia do Rio de Janeiro, considerando que as gangues de lá usam equipamento militar de alto calibre e poder de fogo...

Just think how confussed he would be to have a voice,in the mix that was not his. 😮 another great video.
This guy comes up with some of the best skits ever!! My second video I have saw from this guy and already my favorite RUclips channel.
Apparently lexxan shattering is like catnip for Scott. He just went crazy when that shield shattered. I’m all for it.
Man I love watching your videos, I hope you try some more 12 gauge sometime, thank you
He just casually takes the bandaid off and sticks it on just below his eye.
Crazy Fun , I enjoy these very much. Thank Scott.
You've had your 6 shots Bond, now I'll have my 80!
16:08 you got me there 😂😂
You have to remember that the key to lexan's bulletproof capabilities is the layers of plastic to hold it together once it shatters. You can't just use a solid piece of lexan. You have to make a composite with some plastic layers.
You like big guns and so do we! How about the biggest .22 ever made? Can Kentucky Ballistic even get a hold of it? The bigges small caliber cartridge ever made? The Eargesplitten Loudenboomer. 378 Weatherby necked down to fit a .22 bullet..... we want to se it!!!!!!
It has been proven to have a resistance limit, I wouldn't trust my life to that shield. Our police officers are very brave at work. Thank you Scott, you always surprise. 👏🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻🇧🇷❤️
That intro had me rolling. "Who wants to watch ConAir" 🤣🤣🤣

apparently the caption made on Pedro Reis' channel was a little confusing, generating some wrong or inaccurate interpretations
Put one of these on an AR! No need for the ballistic shield. Well, as long as the "Boys" are protected. Is there a balistic CUP out there? Looks weird but it is a cool idea!

I love the tiny gun move by corridor with you in it
i can only imagine how annoying it must be to hit the most clean headshot ever, only for you to find out your shot got blocked by this silly shield
Depends on your perspective.
R6s said smth
I mean, it did stop the .44 so it would save your life from that much at least once.
Also 44 is not a common ammo here, what cops will most likely find is .22, 38 and 9mm
If Scott finds any more ways to talk to himself in videos, Ryan George is going to file a lawsuit for gimmick infringement.
"So, you have a high recoil pistol for me?"
"Yes sir, I do"
"That caliber of gun sounds unwieldly and extremely expensive to shoot."
"No it's super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Didn't even know who Ryan George was until I was reading that in his voice. 😂😂😂
"Well all righty then" :)
High recoil pistols are "tight".
Haven’t watched you in a long time I think the last thing I remember seeing of you was your gun blowing up and I’m just really glad you’re still here
Just a reminder: Attorney Tom Grieve interviewed a man that was shot FIFTEEN times with .45 and survived. Six of those shots absolutely mattered. "The Lord's Caliber" didn't defeat the shield in use today. It was a solid piece of Lexan instead of layered.
doubt it was even poly carbonate. That usually behaves totally different, layered or not. Specifically PC does not shatter.
Pretty sure "the lord's caliber" is a sub caliber.
The pile of tables was wild lmaooo😅😮

Considering that in Brazil, access to legal firearms is very difficult, while access to illegal firearms is easy, illegal firearms are predominantly .380 revolvers and .380 pistols. Most urban threats in Brazil involve these calibers, making this shield very effective. I felt proud of my Brazil with this invention.

One out of a couple reasons why I love firearms is feeling the recoil. I don't have any fun firing a small caliber firearm. Sccy 9m I had was a terrible pistol but the size was small and a short barrel so it snapped pretty good. 45 1911 I had felt great no snap but a punch backwards. 12 Guage so far is my favorite 3" mag man.
