No glass.....

No glass splinters in the eyes???

Anybody remember the floor wax with 'jet age plastic' that was 'so tough that bullets bounced off'. A guy shot at it with a Thompson sub-machine gun.

"Oh Robert, I wanna know what you DO all day at that Acme Glass Company, why can't I tag along with you to work? I could HELP you!" "What's the matter, afraid I'll see that you just loaf all day long while I watch junior and do all this housework?"

Bet she stayed home, tended house after THAT little field trip...

I bet they used the Buggs Bunny cartoon, the one where he hits the 'dud' rounds with the hammer, as a training film.

That lady's outfit looks more like '32 than '52.

Back in the 50s one of the neighbor boys older brother bought a surplus army six by six. He was bragging up that it had bullet proof glass. You never tell a bunch of young boys with .22s that anything is bullet proof.

It may have been bullet proof, but it wasn't shatter proof.

I found that "Bullet Proof" glass/plastic/acrylic won't handle more than 3
.30-06 or 7.62 rounds!
