    Not a big deal, but windshields aren't tempered. They're made of two pieces of normal, untempered glass that is cut then bent into windshield shape, then a layer of plastic (polyvinyl butyryl) is inserted between the glass layers and the entire sandwich is put into a giant autoclave (a pressure cooker, basically) where it melts and fuses the lites together. You can tell it's not tempered because windshields will chip or crack but don't explode in the way that a side or rear window does. You want the windshield to break and cave in but not explode in the event that either a sizeable object or a person hits it from either side. Source: Worked in a factory making auto windows, including windshields - broke enough of them to know tempered vs not

      it shoes that the heavy slow 30.30 goes pretty far with its slow heavy bullet.
      also I'd recommend looking at the aps under water rifle. it was a rifle designed for under water firefights... (the cold War was a weird time) I don't remember how far they went under water, but it was impressive. the idea was since bullets don't travel well in water because the bullets speed is slowed down tremendously in water, they would make it fire darts. heavier darts made to be heavy enough to push through water, but have enough speed to do harm. there is an entertaining video I'm going to look for on something like this some guys made. idk if I'll find it.

      I remember a kid brought a sample of bulletproof glass as a show and tell and they mentioned it was 7 panes thick glued together. I'm curious how the result would differ if they stacked the glass so it was touching each other. The cloud of shrapnel wouldn't be clearing the way for the bullet and it would be great to get a shot of a bullet stuck part way through the last pane coming at the camera.

    I think this experiment would be interesting if they used panes of glass of multiple colors (eg, red, blue, yellow, orange, violet, etc.) to track what glass remnants continued moving forward and at what point those glass remnants stopped. In other words, would any glass shards move between the panes (or would they be deflected by the next pane) or if they did move at what point would they stop and at what rate would they stop.

    For those familiar with ballistics, this is what happens with a low standard deviation. When you've chosen a brand of ammo that has a very consistent speed between one shot to the next, consistent bullet weight from one shot to the next, your impact energy is also going to be quite consistent.

    I'm curious about how much of a difference the spacing of the glass would make. Would you still get through 11 panes clamped together? What about if they were further apart?

      Same curiosity for me

      If they were clamped directly together I'm sure it could get through them all if it's untempered/non automotive glass. The kenitic energy would just pass straight through like a newton's cradle.
      Tempered glass would probably fair better and maybe you'd have a chance of not breaking all.
      Automotive glass would have a good chance of stopping it. Since that's basically how bullet proof glass is made. The plastic between layers retains the glasses shape meaning you'd have more drag on the bullet though the next pane.

      I think the more spacing the less layers you'll need. Allows the fragments from the last impact to spread out more, especially when the debris is moving faster than the bullet.

      I feel a larger spacing would reduce the contribution by the shards from the previous plane. Particularly in the first 2-5 planes. Double the spacing, probably only 7 or 8? Would be good to see.

      As long as they weren’t feet apart, shouldn’t be much difference.
