ArmorCore Bullet Resistant Panels
Of particular interest is the ability of a given material to defeat or resist "missiles" which refers to debris and other objects picked up by the wind and moved with enough force to damage and even penetrate windows, doors, walls, and other parts of a building. The stronger the wind, the larger and heavier the missiles it can carry and the greater the risk of severe damage.
ArmorCore UL752 Level 3 (½" thick and 5.0 lbs. per square foot) panels at 4' x 4' were submitted to the Wind Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University for testing to see how well they could resist an airborne missile typical of an F5 strength tornado. The results clearly indicated that ArmorCore bullet resistant panels are well suited for safe room construction provided the overall structural system that supports the ArmorCore panels is adequate.
