@taffy The Army sent my husband to combat driving course a few years ago, which included tactical shooting. They shot up a car to show that shooting into a tire or the engine won't stop it, like on TV. This is a piece of the window they shot into. It is a 1-ft square, about 4 inches thick, weighs about 20 pounds. It had 3 different bullet holes in it, which splintered the glass, but didn't penetrate it. Over Christmas, my husband and his father covered it in a liquid acrylic to keep the glass pieces from falling out and put it in a frame to display it. @taffy
I love the look of shattered bulletproof glass. I prefer it when I am the one shooting it on the range, rather than the one sitting behind it when it shatters in theater. Never really considered it for art though. Interesting. :)
@combatdoc Luckily, he was not sitting behind it when they did this test. It did turn out pretty cool. They still have to put the decorative frame around it. He's got all kinds of strange souvenirs, like this. I'm sure you do, too!
@homeschoolmom The one think I really wanted to keep, the piece of mortar that missed my head by inches, they made me put in an amnesty bin. It had actually been tagged, investigated, and duly returned to me by regulations, but the stupid Navy Customs still made me dump it.
@homeschoolmom very true so how did you manage such an unusual shot.
Thanks for the explanation!
Cool shot!
