Title: One way bullet proof glass- make sure you install it right!!!

Um, the holy shit factor is pegged on this one.

How does it work? ---->

On the protective side, as a bullet strikes the acrylic (brittle, but very strong when compressed) outer layer, the acrylic is compressed, strengthens, and absorbs/distributes the bullet\'s energy. Simultaneously, the polycarbonate layer, which has flexible characteristics, stretches as it dissipates all the remaining bullet energy, and there is no full penetration. There is some "spider webbing" on the impact side, but the inside of the glass remains smooth and undamaged.

On the One Way side, the reverse occurs - The polycarbonate is compressed, and the acrylic is stretched. The bullet easily passes through the soft polycarbonate layer, and into the acrylic layer, which becomes weak as it is stretched. The bullet shatters the acrylic and continues onward, with negligible loss of velocity, and practically no deflection.

Yeah, my uncle has a grenade launcher. He bought it when he was in Peru.

Somehow he got it to the US.

I had an AR-15... beautiful firing gun. Very complicated mechanisms, tho. You can see why teh VC ran all over our boys
in \'nam. In that mudhole it must have been damn near impossible
to keep your gun working properly. Unless you have an AK. I swear you could take off the receiver cover, dump a handfull of sand in, and it would still work fine.

True, you can stick a bunch of crap into an AK and it will still work properly, but the range on it compared to an M16-A2 Service rifle does not compare. Along with the difference in ammo.

The AK, with larger bullets and a range of only 200-300 meters cant compare to the M16\'s 5.56mm 800 meter range.
The AK\'s bullet would hit and go through the body, unlike the M16 where it would hit, shatter and scatter throughout your body shredding every organ it passes through untill it decides when, and where it wants to exit.

Dont get me wrong the AK is powerful, but the M16 is definately my weapon of choice, obviously.
