5.56 vs. auto glass test
We happened upon a piece of what I think is auto glass this morning. So I took the opportunity to do some informal research that I had been promissing to do in another thread.
I used stuff that we found out at the range since I wasn't planning on doing this test today. The 3/4" plywood was used to tape my targets to so I could guage any deflection, and get an idea of what kind of penetration the round would have after it passed thru the glass.
Weapon used had a 14.5 inch barrel. I fired from about 7 yards away.
The first round tested was Federal NT frangible. The stuff that you can get from Ammoman.com.
The Frangible passed through the glass and appears to have broken into two main chunks that both penetrated the 3/4" plywood. No deflection at all.
