How Does 45 Layers Of Bulletproof Glass Stand Up Against A Firing RPG?

Can 45 layers of bulletproof glass — 45 layers that combine to make a 40 centimetre thick bullet stopping wall, mind you — survive against a RPG-7 rocket launcher? The idea is to find out if it’s possible to use bulletproof glass to armour a tank against anti-tank weapons such as a RPG.

Crash Zone did the test and though the bulletproof glass held up admirably (I mean, a rocket is being fired at it), it didn’t quite work. Even using armour that was spaced out from each other couldn’t survive against an RPG. Still, it’s fun seeing a rocket get shot at glass and cause a cool explosion burst.
