As identified by UL 752 standards, the highest level of bulletproof glass historically available has been Level 8, which is made to withstand five rounds from a 7.62mm rifle allowing for no penetration of the bullet and no glass spall. However, recently UL 752 has added level 9 (1 shot from a.30-06 caliber rifle) and level 10 (1 shot from a .50 caliber rifle). Bullet Resistant Glass would withstand up to a .50 Caliber round from a high powered rifle. A .50 Caliber round is most closely associated with military usage, and is not typically or commonly in widespread usage amongst most civilian products. Additionally, it should be mentioned that level 8 is essentially the highest level of protection available for bullet resistant glass.

The following is a brief breakdown of the UL 752 level standards:

Level 1 withstands three shots from a 9mm full metal copper jacket with lead core at a speed of 1,175 feet per second. Level 2 must be able to stand up to three shots from a .357 magnum jacketed lead soft point at a velocity of 1,250 feet per second. Level 3 is made to resist three shots from a .44 magnum lead semi-wadcutter at 1,350 feet per second. Level 4 is made to withstand one shot from a .30 caliber rifle lead core soft point at a speed of 2,540 feet per second. Level 5 has the same requirements as the highest level of bulletproof glass protection, but at only one shot. Level 6 must withstand five shots from a 9mm full metal copper jacket with lead core at a velocity of 1,400 feet per second. Level 7 must be able to stand up to five shots from a 5.66mm rifle full metal copper jacket with lead core at a speed of 3,080 feet per second. Level 8 – required to withstand 5 rounds fired using 7.62 ammunition. This is actually the highest protection available for BR glass. Level 9 – Firearm projectiles up to .30-06 caliber rifle, Full Metal Jacket.

Level 10 – .50 caliber fired from a high powered rifle.

What types of situations can the highest level of BP glass help defend against?

Bulletproof glass can protect people against many types of threats, but there are a few misconceptions regarding the materials. First, none of them can withstand every possible scenario. Even if you do have the highest level of bulletproof glass, it’s not 100% invincible. Any material subjected to repeated impacts of firearm projectiles will, eventually, sustain enough damage to be structurally unsound. However, there are a number of scenarios where the highest level of bulletproof protection would be desired. These can include police stations, government offices, corporate headquarters, data centers, cash vaults, money rooms or similar locations.

A natural disaster poses serious risks to your life, liberty and limb. People die, are trapped or injured during and after a natural disaster. Whether a fire, flood or storm, natural disasters are life threatening. By understanding the causes of natural disasters, we are better equipped to survive. Natural disasters are caused by three factors: the Earth’s movements; weather; and extreme weather. In Africa, extreme heat would be classed as a weather- related disaster. But, a subsequent famine would be the result of extreme weather.

6 Survival Tips for a Storm

Stay indoors. There is a very real threat from flying debris and broken infrastructure. Equalise pressure in your building by opening the windows a couple of centimeters. This will reduce the risk of your building imploding. Tie down or lock away outdoor furniture such as tables, chairs and portable bbq equipment. Know how to turn off your water, electricity and gas at the mains. Make a plan to relocate or protect your household pets. Check that your windscreen wipers are working, the petrol tank is full and the spare Tyre is inflated Remember, during a disaster, people panic. This panic makes people frustrated and they often become violent. Avoid this violence by knowing what to do and when to evacuate. H.E.A.T. tip: Although lightning hits the tallest object in striking distance, it also strikes metal and electrical surfaces. Do not use your mobile phone whilst outside in a tropical storm.
