Ballistic Glass – Number of test shots 

There are various requirements when testing ballistic glass regarding the number 

of shots that the test sample is subjected to. There is also a pattern set out in each 

standard as to the position and angle of the shots. The image above clearly shows 

a five shot arrangement on the glass during an NIJ IIIA test.

Bullet resistant security glass for interior and exterior application

Glass – Polycarbonate Ballistic/Bullet Glass

This is a combination of glass and polycarbonate. The polycarbonate layer is bonded to 

the inside face of the bullet glass and that prevents the inner glass layers from breaking 

away and creating ‘spall’. This combination of glass and polycarbonate creates a lighter 

weight product and at the same time reduces the overall thickness of the bullet glazing.  

A comparative example would be between an all glass BR6 Non Spall glass 

(approximately 71mm thick) and a glass polycarbonate construction which again to BR6 

would be around 38mm thick.  

The consideration when using glass polycarbonate ballistic glazing is that the 

polycarbonate on the inside face can become scratched and fogged generally through 

overzealous cleaning, particularly with abrasive cleaning products. The suggested 

method of cleaning polycarbonate surfaces is usually water with special attention to any 

additives that may be suggested by specialist cleaning product manufacturers.  

Spall allowed glass is a good alternative and using the above as an example then the BR6 

Spall Allowed glass is 50mm thick and falls in between the BR6 NS and BR6 glass 

polycarbonate bullet glass. As with the BR6 NS ballistic glass it has a glass surface on 

both the attack side and also the protected side and therefore presents no problems 

when cleaning. The only time that real consideration may need to be given to Spall 

Allowed bullet glass is perhaps if it is used as a counter screen where the persons face is 

normally within around 450mm of the glass.
