Shooting resistance of non-metallic materials

This paper presents test results of shooting resistance of non-metallic materials such as ceramics, rubber, glass reinforced plastic (GRP), natural and modified wood. It was demonstrated that GRP samples 16 mm thick protected with ceramic plates 10 mm thick can be considered bullet-proof against bullets of 7.62 mm caliber. And, multi-layer plate with a core of natural or modified wood cannot be taken as a bullet-proof material against 7.62 mm bullets.
