Bulletproof glass is categorized on the basis of its resistance to various ballistic threats. Ballistic Resistance Ratings, the resistance of bulletproof glass is evaluated using a range of ammunition types and calibers. Impact Testing, using various projectiles, the glass is put through multiple impact tests during the testing process. The amount of deformation or cracking and the number of hits the glass can withstand before failing are two factors used to measure performance. Bulletproof glass may be used in buildings, automobiles, or personal protective equipment, depending on the level of protection that is needed. For example, superior bulletproof glass is used in armored cars to protect occupants from powerful weapons.
