At least a 25 auto. Not sure about that - 10 layers of polycarbonate, maybe - acrylic is very brittle and a 25ACP should go through 10 layers ok - the individual sheets are extremely thin. I don't have a .25ACP, but have a .22LR - 25ACP is betwen 85J and 130J depending on load etc., and a .22LR sub-sonic is about 140J, so very comparable... Might give it a go... (not on a real display - I have both 0.5mm polycarbonate and acrylic sheet) Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
