bullet resistant sheet rock
Where could I get bullet resistant sheet rock, to use in my upcoming
remodeling? I'm watching a tv documentary right now, and two people are in a gun fight in a home, and one hides behind the 2 foot x 2 foot plaster post at the bottom of the stairs, but the other person shoots right through it. I don't want that to happen to me. |

But I was going to suggest that she learn to shoot straight, accurate, and first. -- Grandpa |

Were you also watching "24"? (It's starting again now, on a different channel!) |

If you liberally decorate the room with glassware, bottles, vases, mirrors and the like, the bullets will be attracted to them and you won't have to worry about anything more than a flesh wound to an unimportant part of your body.

I'd still like to get some steel-lined sheetrock. R |

bullet resistant sheet rock
I insulate my house with kevlar, so I need not worry about a gunfight in my
home! How often does a gunfight occur in homes these days? If your that concerned about a gunfight in your house then I would suggest moving to a safer environment and quit selling the drugs in the crack house! In my home there would only be ONE shot, that would be my .45 at the intruder. I'll just have to make sure the bullet lodges in his spine on its way through the heart! Searcher |

Not too many ninjas can swat 2000 rounds per minute out of the air. Of course, the house will collapse around you pretty quickly, but that's merely a pesky inconvenience. |

I don't want that to happen to me. What calibers are we talking about? Wimpy 9's or .357's or .44's or .45's? Or 12ga? My suggestion would be two layers of 1/2" wonderboard covered with thinner drywall but even this system wouldn't much good for multiple hits. If you're serious you'll need to do some more research. A "layered" armor approach might be worth considering; wonder board, light gage steel sheet, wonder board, drywall. The placement of the steel would need ot be evaluated; sandwiched or nearer the surfacer If you're in a seismic area & you've got a 2 story this will drive up your lateral system demands. Maybe modified furniture could supply your desired cover? Hey, you never know ......making the whole house bullet resistant (BR) also gives the bad guy cover How about BR walls for the bathrooms & bedrooms (safety rooms) & don't forget the doors. Or you could just put up signs..........."no gun play in the house" cheers Bob |

bullet resistant sheet rock
From a "gun group" I found a site called the "Box o' Truth" in which a guy
described what happened when the fired various weapons through various materials and objects include sheet rock (and, for fun, jugs of water). His first "test" was with 12 sheets of 5/8" drywall. This is the report: "First, I shot it with my M-17 S&W, .22 LR HP. It penetrated 6 sheets and bounced off the seventh sheet. That would be the equivalent of 3 interior walls. And that's only a .22 pistol." It's a GREAT site. http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot1.htm Bottom line: Sheet rock ain't bullet proof! "mm" wrote in message ...

I'm watching a tv documentary right now, and two people are in a gun fight in a home, and one hides behind the 2 foot x 2 foot plaster post at the bottom of the stairs, but the other person shoots right through it. It's it hollow and the shooter has something more powerful than a .22", the plaster (actually, sheet rock in anything built in the last 40 years) will not provide much protection. Back when I had my military training the instructors spoke of "Cover" and "Concealment." "Cover" means something that will stop an accurately aimed round before it hits you. "Concealment" means that the enemy will not be able to accurately aim. Anything short of a foot or two of soil just isn't reliable "cover." I don't want that to happen to me. As others have pointed out, just don't get anyone angry! |

I don't want that to happen to me. I came across this information: Location: Gainesville , GA Markets: Direct Notes: none Product: Formable Kevlar material for expedient wall protection Product name: Millibar Web site: none Test data available: null POC: Dan Gallucci (770) 844-9438 and fax (770) 844-9438 E-Mail: none Millibar, developed by New Necessities of Gainesville, Ga., is a high- wind, severe-storm, and seismic structural reinforcement ribbon made of Kevlar. Kevlar, also used for bulletproof vests, is one of the strongest materials available: It has a tensile strength of 525,000 psi vs. 36,000 psi for steel. Millibar-reinforced spaces can survive falling trees and flying debris. The company has developed a "Sanctuary Saferoom" plan that uses the material and traditional building materials to "create an armored bunker within the structure." The company also sells what it calls "armored wallpaper," in 4-foot-by-8-foot sheets. [8~{} Uncle Monster |

I don't want that to happen to me. Kevlar is a little expensive. I'd pick one spot in the home and create a barrier by filling the wall cavity between the sheet rock with whatever building material I could find cheap. That could be concrete, bricks, paving stones, sand, rocks..... A really nice one would have a 4x6 inch bullet proof glass and right beneath a steel plate with a hole just big enough for your barrel. |

The gun box will need to be heavy, fortified, and mounted... like an ATM. You want something that might resemble a mail box array, with keys and locks. The box will need a vertical door to hold rifles and shotguns. Then four individual drawer doors for pistols and ammo. Leave keys in the doors, so the depositor has their own key while in the house. You could put a steel door over the boxes; then open the main door, so the person with the key opens the box while you're present. You get some degree of gun control. -- Oren "I don't have anything against work. I just figure, why deprive somebody who really loves it." |

"kevlar sheet rock" is NOT going to stop bullets. kevlar depends on many layers and deformation to stop bullets;put it on a solid surface,and bullets go thru easier.But No soft body armor stops RIFLE bullets.For that,"trauma plates" are needed,ceramic/titanium rigid armor. Now,one guy DID make a spaced composite armor from concrete and steel plates,welded a big box of it on a small bulldozer,and went amok with it,driving it thru several buildings,police could not shoot thru it. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

I was watching a documentary on TV called "24" and there was a lot of shooting in one of their houses, and I just want to be prepared. Some woman shot at Mr. Bauer, and then hid behind a large square post at the foot of the stairs, and he shot right through the sheetrock where she was hiding, and hit her. I don't want that to happen to me. The head of the US Homeland Security Michael Chertoff is a big fan of "24".

I don't want that to happen to me. They used to make .38 bullets that were loaded very lightly so it would stop after about 2 sheets of sheetrock -- so if you fired one in a house complex it wouldn't go through 15 apartments. Now, I guess you'd just have to use wadcutters or something extremely aggressive that would blow apart when it hits the sheetrock. It'll produce a bit of shrappnal, but not too much. Also, they make a kevlar house wrap, but that only protects you if the bad/good guys are outside firing in. If you can afford it, a collapsing floor seems to work well. You just need to make sure you install it under the bad guys and keep the handle nearby -- someplace you can dive (and pull in mid-air) while they are shooting at you. Then you have a basement full of bad buys, but the police will appear in the nick of time. Your best option is probably a can of hairspray and a lighter. That always seems to work on TV. Plus maybe a good frying pan. .... oh, and cancel your plans to have Bruce Willis over for dinner. |

Now, I guess you'd just have to use wadcutters or something extremely aggressive that would blow apart when it hits the sheetrock. It'll produce a bit of shrappnal, but not too much. Also, they make a kevlar house wrap, but that only protects you if the bad/good guys are outside firing in. If you can afford it, a collapsing floor seems to work well. You just need to make sure you install it under the bad guys and keep the handle nearby -- someplace you can dive (and pull in mid-air) while they are shooting at you. Then you have a basement full of bad buys, but the police will appear in the nick of time. Your best option is probably a can of hairspray and a lighter. That always seems to work on TV. Plus maybe a good frying pan. ... oh, and cancel your plans to have Bruce Willis over for dinner. You have a lot of ideas. I think the best one for me is to make a new sign. "Only light loads permitted indoors". I have almost finished my first sign. Now all that work is for nothing, except now I won't have to build that fancy box to hold their guns that someone recommended.. |

I'm watching a tv documentary right now, and two people are in a gun fight in a home, and one hides behind the 2 foot x 2 foot plaster post at the bottom of the stairs, but the other person shoots right through it.

Make a set of flash cards with pictures and rotate the current policy (card) to the front. If the visitor reads well; maybe, even a LED Marquee with changing messages. As for the gun box, they can secure weapons in their car trunks. -- Oren "I don't have anything against work. I just figure, why deprive somebody who really loves it." |
