Quoted: what agle/angles will you be firing from? I figure I'll put it up at a fairly steep angle to mimick the effect as if it was really on a car, and plan on putting a pumpkin on the other side of the glass about 2 feet back. Shawn |

Get a copy of the video "Deadly Weapons" and test rounds that they didn't.

Take note of what bullets shed their jackets and deflect badly (most JHP handgun rounds) Vs. which bullets retain their jacket and fly straight (Gold Dot , Federal Tactical, & Winchester Ranger T series).
Windshield are a common intermediate barrior in our car loving culture. |

Shawn I've seen this done on a video produced by LAPD ballistics lab. With most calibers, even if the glass deflects the projectile, the interior glass portion of the laminate still disintegrates and flies in a cloud of glass dust and fragments into the face of the "crash test" dummy sitting in the passenger compartment. |

I know for a fact that a wrist rocket and a landscape pebble, from above, will penetrate a windshield. Expense lesson for 4 kids playing 'war'.

You ought to try a .38 Special. It's dismal record was the main reason for the advent of the .357 Mag.

I've seen .22's bounce off of a side window and lodge in the door trim. A windshield should offer about the same angle of incidence.
Be careful and try to catch the ricochets, they may be more instructive than the penatrants (is that the right word? or even a word?). Oh, and take video! Cool. Need any help? |

The ol' 30.06, thats what the serious bad guys used to use.
Bonnie and Clyde had BARs, Dillinger was a wuss and mainly used pistols calibers. Editted to add; I would request the 7.62x25, I would like to see how its vaunted power of penetration stands up. |

Shoot the 8mm last as it will make all the rest look anemic! With maybe the exception of the 7.62x54R,and the 50!

.50 BMG,
ONLY if you have access to a .50 cal belt fed M2 machine gun. ok, if you don't then shoot it with a shotgun! |

Do yourself a favor and wear good armor and other protection, and shoot from cover if possible. You could conceivably catch some nasty ricochets.
Auto glass is pretty tough to defeat with pistol rounds. This should be interesting... |

POLICE magazine did an experiment like that a few months back.
They used: 12 gauge, .223, .30/30, 9MM NATO, .45, .357 Mag, .40 S&W and .357 SIG. CRC |
