Rhino liner as ballistic armor - Page 2

Yea, thats what I've been trying to say. It wont stop a bullet but if you've ever shot throug a brick you know how much of the back side blows off. Rhino lining is flexible and will keep the blow out to a minimum. A brick covered in rhino lining will have a hole going in and a hole going out. It wont blow the back out of it like if it were uncoated.

That's the basic problem as I understand it. If you make something blast proof its not really bullet proof. if you make it bullet proof its not blast proof. The difference is point of impact vs. shock wave.
