ejg223 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Silent, one day you're gonna be run over by a lawn mower! I like the annealing merry go round, generally some of those machines look like they need to be replaced. Stopping one armour piercing round is no problem, stopping the second one on the same spot or area is a real problem. To stop tungsten carbide needle type bullets with a lightweight arrangement one setup is to have a layer of a very hard material like hardened steel or ceramic that breaks the tungsten bullet. Then the Kevlar underneath catches the blunt leftovers. The hard layer is damaged on one spot and couldn't hold a second round. Thanks for the pictures, very interesting. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
