    Not a big deal, but windshields aren't tempered. They're made of two pieces of normal, untempered glass that is cut then bent into windshield shape, then a layer of plastic (polyvinyl butyryl) is inserted between the glass layers and the entire sandwich is put into a giant autoclave (a pressure cooker, basically) where it melts and fuses the lites together. You can tell it's not tempered because windshields will chip or crack but don't explode in the way that a side or rear window does. You want the windshield to break and cave in but not explode in the event that either a sizeable object or a person hits it from either side. Source: Worked in a factory making auto windows, including windshields - broke enough of them to know tempered vs not

      also I'd recommend looking at the aps under water rifle. it was a rifle designed for under water firefights... (the cold War was a weird time) I don't remember how far they went under water, but it was impressive. the idea was since bullets don't travel well in water because the bullets speed is slowed down tremendously in water, they would make it fire darts. heavier darts made to be heavy enough to push through water, but have enough speed to do harm. there is an entertaining video I'm going to look for on something like this some guys made. idk if I'll find it.

      I remember a kid brought a sample of bulletproof glass as a show and tell and they mentioned it was 7 panes thick glued together. I'm curious how the result would differ if they stacked the glass so it was touching each other. The cloud of shrapnel wouldn't be clearing the way for the bullet and it would be great to get a shot of a bullet stuck part way through the last pane coming at the camera.

    If you guys ever do this again it'd be super cool to space the last pane out further so you can see the bullet bounce off with less of the debris in the shot, though that would probably be super difficult as the bullet sort of changes trajectory. Still incredible footage you guys capture with this one.

    I think this experiment would be interesting if they used panes of glass of multiple colors (eg, red, blue, yellow, orange, violet, etc.) to track what glass remnants continued moving forward and at what point those glass remnants stopped. In other words, would any glass shards move between the panes (or would they be deflected by the next pane) or if they did move at what point would they stop and at what rate would they stop.

When it comes to external ballistics (How drag affects the bullet) we use known calculations to calculate the retardation using a ballistics coefficient. But when it comes to terminal ballistics the science is much more complex. So we have chosen to use graphs and extract data points from a various sources on the internet to fill these graphs. I can't link but if you Google "mda digital terminal ballistics" you should find a CZcams video showing our ballistics. Please let me know what you think or if you have further questions. :)
