Anyone here know much about "ballistic drywall"? I just read a reference to it but have never seen it. I guess it comes in sheets like regular drywall but is able to stop a bullet. It's used in police station entrance areas so that no one can shoot their way in, etc. I'm curious about weight (sounds heavy), easy of installation (drywall screws?), composition (composite material or an embedded sheet of steel?), etc.
Thanks.
Scott
hello Scott... if you havent already? try this google search
Kevlar-possibly?
Never heard of that kind of drywall-but sounds possible.
Yes, I did try a google search. One of the best quick reads was:
Most of what I found at other sites was marketing hype, vague promises, incomplete information, ... In short, a sales teaser.
Anyway, thanks for the comments.
That technique's also a fairly common one for building sound isolation booths, I'm told. (Though there are some other tricks employed there as well to keep sound from being coupled through the studs.)
Personally, I'd advise not getting into positions where someone may want to shoot in your direction in the first place.
I too, looked at the google stuff and wound up reading a prolix discursion on the coefficient of thermal efficiency and spalling inside gas turbine hot sections.
kid you not!
g'day to ya Scott..
You say that like it's a bad thing.
