With rifle armor you need a medium to break up the projectile such as ceramics, metal or other, then use the soft material to catch the fragments. I’m sure you know that though!

could you retry shooting the 24 layers sample by adding a 3/16 mild steel strike face in front of it, and shooting that with 7.62x39FMJ and 5.56 FMJ?

BTTWPES are also good for stopping bullets, or at least slowing them down. Especially the big fat ones. You can find them on most any street corner 😉

Very nice. I'd be interested to see what having a hard baker on it might change. Would it reduce back-face deformation, or would restricting the movement of the PE cause the bullet to act like a paper-punch and let out go through? Did you say where you bought the material? I'd like to do a couple of experiments of my own.

I’ll be doing an additional test utilizing the hard pressed UHMWPE. From what I’ve seen, it should drop back-face deformation. I acquired the material from Alibaba (160 gsm UHMWPE).

In your opinion, is it better to create a steel plate, such as a 1/5 of an inch, and then put this material on the back, or it should be better to put the material on the front of the steel plate?

At that thickness I would put it on both sides of the plate. It’s thin enough to not hinder the performance of the Polyethylene

Slightly different application, but.. do you think that will it be suitable as an additional layer under an inflatable mattress, which should protect against punctures by an acacia thorn, a cactus or a needle? How many layers would this need?

How much does that stuff cost? I’m working on my own project making a riot shield that has a good ballistic protection to lowest weight possible ratio using 3/8” aluminum plating…how much would you recommend to add to the plate or do you think reinforcing it with steel would be better
@3RBallistics
10 ай бұрын
The cost really depends on how thick you want the material which is dependent on what rounds you are trying to stop. I believe I purchased it for about $35 a square yard. As far as the shield, I would use UHMWPE for the weight savings. Even though it’s going to cost more to build, I believe it’s worth the added cost for how much weight you would take off.

@@justinw1765 it sticks to itself pretty easily if you go over it with a clothes iron between two wax paper sheets. im guessing it would bond okay to arimid this way. not sure how other mfg are doing it. maybe theyre not? or just wraping the arimid tightly around front and back and gluing? pretty sure those brands like safelife's hyperline is bonded somehow to the arimid in the back.

Ive seen a lot of videos about everyday items being used to create armor. Im curious what happens if you start layering multiple different materials. like a layer of steel, then plastic, then fiber. Does that become a system where the its better than the sum of all the parts or is it worse than just using one material.

My rule of thumb is, if the backer can stop 9mm by itself it can stop 556 or 7.62 with a ceramic strikeface.... In theory 12 layers plus ceramic should be sufficient. Whered you get your UHPE fabric? Have you tried solid uhpe?

The UHMWPE came from Alibaba. I have tried solid UHPE and plan to utilize it in an upcoming project. However solid UHPE doesn’t stop projectile’s the same as the fabric.
