    Hopefully those pools also have urine detectors/neutralizers built in.

    Its not a structural material that I am aware of, but spiders web/silk is exponentially stronger and better at stopping bullets than Kevlar, it was on the discovery channel one day. Its rather incredible how strong spider web is, it just isn't something that can be mass produced....it took some god awful amount of time to gather the web.

    Well Lipp, does it HAVE to be Glass? Because there's translucent polymer stuff that they use in aquariums for they're Viewing windows. It's plastic, but looks just like glass. And it holds back TONS of pressure.

    I'll look post this and look up a link =)

    Considered other possibilities, so yeah I'll check that out as well, thing is that most polycarbonate plastic is very detectable and used more for shockproof windows, but if you know a good variation Ill take what I can get.

    As long as its translucent it works, and preferably minimal light distortion.

    Wont have time to start looking into it until the weekend though. My kingdom for a break.

    What kind of artillery would you recommend for a one-shot residential house demo? Approx 5000 sq ft, downslope. Its partially blocking my view. I've got a pretty strong, concrete reinforced deck I could attach the mount to.

    Or mbe something from a large vehicle at closer range? What do you suggest?
    I would recommend a DAISY CUTTER.

    Yah, that's a concept image, but for the finished building there's still a massive supporting frame that I'm trying to avoid, oh well.

    At least we're the sexiest.

    Interesting. One-shot jungle clearing and demining. That could work.

    Do they come in multi-packs? I'm really into bulk buying these days.
