TL;DR: In this paper, the penetration resistance of fiberglass-reinforced plastics against small-caliber projectiles is determined by firing experiments, and relations between energy loss, stopping power and thickness of plate are given.
Abstract: The penetration resistance of fiberglass-reinforced plastics against small-caliber projectiles is determined by firing experiments. Relations, found to be linear, between energy loss, stopping power and thickness of plate are given. The effect of distance of separation, for two plates, on stopping power is determined. The weight efficiency of the fiberglass cloth is found to be greater than steel.
