As installed, this containment was tested with
a 32 lb steel projectile traveling at approximately 60 mph
(88 ft/s). The polycarbonate thickness is ½ inch, however,
the design can accommodate a thickness range of ¼ inch
- ¾ inch. A bulletproof polycarbonate laminate, such
as Lexgard®, could also be installed for protection
against small arms fire.
