The Characteristics of Level 7 Bulletproof Glass

Both are layered and then laminated to ensure the glass is robust. At this level, the bulletproof glass can resist a number of shots, including 5 bullets from a 5.56 mm rifle.

UL 752 Level 7 Specifications

Most commonly used as a protection barrier against multiple shots from a military assault rifle, such as the M-16, and the like, with muzzle energy of 1158-1402 foot-pounds (1570-1901J).

The more layers of fiberglass the thicker the sheet and the higher the level of ballistic protection. UL752 Level 1 fiberglass which defeats 3 shots of a 9mm handgun is ¼” thick whereas UL752 Level 8 fiberglass which defeats 5 shots of a 7.62mm rifle is almost 1 ½” thick.

UL 752 Level 8 are AK 47 bullet resistant panels primarily used in military defense. These are the primary protection against multiple shots against military assault rifles, such as an M-14 and similar weapons with a muzzle energy of up to 2519-3048 foot-pounds.

NIJ Body Armor Ballistic Level IV are the highest rated hard armor plates under the NIJ standards. They are designed to take one hit from an Armor Piercing 30.06 traveling at a velocity of 2880 ft/s.

The NIJ tests this armor to withstand 7.62mm FMJ lead core rifle ammunition. Level IV: Level IV is the most powerful body armor available. It's designed specifically for military applications and can withstand . 30cal steel core armor-piercing rifle ammunition. NIJ standard levels.

Is Level 4 armor illegal? No. Level 4 armor is legal to own in all 50 states if you are an American citizen with no prior felony convictions.

As defined by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), there are five distinct body armor ballistic levels: Level IIA, Level II, Level IIIA, Level III, and Level IV.

B6: To stop armor-piercing round B6 is used as a high level of protection. It adds a huge security advantage. B7: Extremely secure protection level that stops a verity of armor-piercing rounds from sniper rifles and other high-velocity rifles.

Fiberglass tends to be the all-purpose choice, while carbon fiber offers high stiffness and Kevlar®, high abrasion resistance. Our revised "Fundamentals of Fiberglass" white paper includes more fabric selection information for your reference.

Can fiberglass be bulletproof? ›

A common question we often get is if fiberglass is bulletproof. The answer is yes—but only when it's carefully fabricated to withstand ballistic or other impact. Fiberglass in other forms, such as insulation, will not stand up to bullets or blunt force impact.

For example, cinder blocks and bricks can stand up to gunfire, but most buildings only incorporate these materials on the outer walls. And if you choose to make renovations to improve bullet-resistance, retrofitting with eight-inch cinder block isn't a practical option.

The strongest bulletproof glass used in typical commercial construction is UL 752 Level 8. Typically, this product is made using glass-clad polycarbonate glazing and is strong enough to stop five, closely-spaced shots from an 7.62mm rifle from a distance of 15 feet.

Level 6: Provides protection from 5 shots from a 9mm submachine gun. Level 7: Provides protection from 5 shots from a 5.56mm rifle. Level 8: Provides protection from 5 shots from a 7.62mm rifle.

B7 protection is the strongest level of protection used to stop armor-piercing bullets from high-velocity rifles including sniper rifles. Some special-use vehicles can still accommodate higher protection levels.
