Bulletproof glass is made up of?
High-strength ceramics such as silicon nitride, dual hardness steel, and layers of heavy nylon fabric make up bulletproof glass.
The hard ceramic stops the bullet abruptly, dissipating its energy as it destroys the first layers of the glass at the point of impact, and entangles it in a coarse mesh.
A textile bulletproof vest is fashioned of 16-24 layers of nylon cloth of heavy weave.
The layers are stitched together like a quilt.
Such vests, also known as full-torso protectors, can be worn undetected under regular clothing.
A vest of 16 layers will stop regular handgun and submachine-gun bullets, while those of 24 layers will stop the move powerful magnum bullets from the same weapons.
