AmmoShield - Bullet Resistant Glass
Specifically designed for use in areas of high risk or where the threat of fire-arms is prevalent, AmmoShield® bullet resistant glass encapsulates exceedingly high velocity projectiles without allowing penetration through the panel.
AmmoShield® is a special glass and poly-composite panel, custom-constructed to meet clients specified level of protection. Levels of protection include gun-fire, bomb-blast and physical attack with tools and equipment. Although AmmoShield® can be configured to meet ballistic and blast attack, not all configurations are designed to withstand physical intruder attack.
AmmoShield® is typically used in windscreens, windows, doors, safe-room doors, port-holes, hull windows, master state-rooms and where personal and property protection is paramount.
Designed to function as a system, AmmoShield® must be supplied and fitted in an approved ballistic frame appropriately installed to meet standards and attack levels stated requirements.

AmmoShield® - Bullet Resistant Glass - Testing & Certification
Glasshape® has carried out extensive testing of our AmmoShield® glass to both the AS/NZS2343:1997 and NIJ0108.01:1985 standards.
Testing to AS/NZS2343:1997 requires the test panel to be shot three times with the shot centers 100mm apart forming an equilateral triangle. A witness card is mounted 450mm from the rear of the glass and the glass panel is deemed to satisfy the ballistic classification if no projectile passes through and no particles from the panel or projectile perforate the witness card.
