  I sell industrial plastics, including polycarbonate laminates
("bulletproof glass").	The factory sent us some samples of 1.250"
sheet,
composed of 2 layers 0.125 thick sandwiching two layers 0.500"
thick--and
the samples had been tested, just to help make the point.  The 9mm Hi
Power
slug penetrated 3 layers (ie 1.125") and dimpled the last layer.  The
.45
cal only penetrated the first (.125") layer, whereupon it fragmented.
  The moral of the story, of course, is "don't get shot."
