per their site - "This material is manufactured from start to finish to meet MIL-A-46100D and MIL-A-46177B Armor Plate as per the rigorous U.S. Military's Armor Specifications"
Paul - considering that bank armored cars are used in two canon modules - "A River Runs Thru It" and "Urban Guerrilla" - have you thought about adding an armored bank car section to your site - or is it there and I missed it?
here is another link - http://www.texasarmoring.com/armoring_levels.html - actually shows the weapons that the level of armor protection is made to defeat |
Those charts all mention bullets with a lead core until the highest rating.
Since M855 5.56mm has a tungsten core and there is steel core 7.62Bloc on the market, this throws into question this schema.
