Ok try a layer of 1/2 inch concrete, a layer of best mesh, then another layer of 1/2 inch concrete with tiles and mesh ontil u get 2 inches of protection. Use your best proven materials.
I'd love to see the formulas and would like to know if adding fiberglass to the mix would work or help. Those are really cool results, but they add a whole new level to the spalling concern.
Great idea. I also used some basalt in one of the concrete plates and I agree, it really does work well. I believe it’s written on the back of one of the plates but I cannot remember which.
@@3RBallistics if you make two thin panels as a sandwhich, with a foam in the middle of them, the first panel will break the bullet into fragments, the bullet will expand outwards into a larger area in the foam center and the back will stop it. I made very thin panels thst stopped a .308 at 15 feet using this method.
@@zorbaseatery4745 would work very well, but it may settle over time and weight would be an issue for anything mobile. My work was on boats and the bottom of vehicles.
@@jackrigsby6017 Thanks. I am looking at exterior wall panels surrounding a first floor and a safe room. Will start experimenting. Someone else had a polyurethane gel called Rhino Hide, but they were still looking for investors last I checked. I might make fiberglass panels, coat them in polyurea, use them to encase kinetic sand and granite.
Nice results, interesting to see the difference from regular concrete. A build video would be interesting, at least for the better performing panels. I wonder if coating the concrete in a rubber coating would allow for a third shot?
awesome breakdown, would love to see a making of
Let's see more
Yes layered panels with epoxy mesh, etc etc

Instead of sand in the aggregate, use aluminum oxide abrasive media. That helps break up the bullet bigtime.
Sounds good. I might even cover it with a fiberglass shell to hold it together.
Try some boron carbide aggregate. I made ceramic armor systems using it. Also basalt continuous fiber can work wonders.

@@jackrigsby6017How about kinetic sand (1-2") instead of the foam?

nice
Love these videos :)

I actually have another set of samples waiting to test this exact idea. Hopefully I’ll have it done by the end of next week.
@@3RBallistics Excellent, looking forward to it.
