I just read this in the local newspaper. Irrevalent portions snipped at
will.

<article>
The city installed a [glass window] made by Minneapolis-based Ballistica
that keeps out bullets but allows the person behind it to shoot through
it.

"They provided the product and we did the testing with our own guns and
ammuntion." Ennis said. "It worked flawlessly. We shot from both
directions, and it did what they said it would do."

John Maslowski, a Ramsey County sheriff's deputy on the Minnesota Gang
Strike Force said,"You can shoot at the threat and once you shoot through
the shield, offensive rounds do not penetrate. It is an amazing piece of
equipment."

The material and process are patented. The product's outer layer is
brittle, a mid-layer has properties of a gel, and an inner layer has
elastic qualities, McKinney said.

The company won't guarantee that [the shot] will be accurate, "but we can
guarantee its effectiveness at close range." A shot from the protective
side causes brittle particles on the other side to spray, "basically
turning a pistol into a shotgun."

down the window or worry that he can hit me to blast a hole in the
carjacker's skull. How much???

Learn to snip, damnit! You quoted the whole damn post to add 3 line, when
you could have easily just left in the first paragraph so people knew what
you were talking about.

i don't think so but i'll check and see. i'll post it later if i find
one. for the most part it is a small town newspaper and not really that
interesting. i just happened to see that article and figured the list
would find it interesting.

it wasn't specific in the article but i'm assuming that it is fairly thick
like normal bullet-proof safety glass. somewhere between 1 and 3 inches
thick. but in the world of SR, who knows what kind of improvements they
might have made?
