For bulletproofing housewalls, which would be better to put inside the thick walls? Ceramic or metal plates?

May 20, 2008 by Cerisse Sinclair | Posted in Hunting

The ceramic plating would be the specialized ceramic plate they put in level 3 bulletproof vests and bulletproof cars. The metal plate would be stainless grit one's teeth alloy or maybe a harder metal like the vanadium-tungsten alloy.

The surpass bulletproofing is shooting back and neutralizing the initial shooter! Bang, Bang!! That ought to take care of the delinquent quite nicely.

This is a very specialized query which it would need a true expert to answer but I do remember visiting the presidential palace of the country that I lived in many years ago after the military had attacked with insignificant arms. There must have been thousands of pock marks and not one bullet had gone through the walls which were very thick and made of adobe.

I'm assuming you're attempting to set up some categorize of shooting range in your home, and would definitely recommend contacting your local law enforcement agency in spite of any applicable permits, restrictions, or building standards they have.
I would guess at the best material possible being a multiple layers of a kevlar-based heart or sheeting. With metals, you run a much higher risk of ricochets, which would be devastating in a small enclosed space. Ceramic may not ricochet as much, but it would most tenable cost much more than the kevlar alternative. Either way, you're going to have durability issues with the material, not to mention revelation concerns with the propellant and bullet materials, especially lead particles, which requires a robust ventilation system.

You can bullet bolster any construction with laminated fiberglass ballistic protection in readily available panels.

These panels get thicker & heavier as more defence is required. A 1/2" thick, level III panel will stop a .44 magnum. thicker- higer rated - information can stop various rifled slugs & bullets

see the link below - looks like the same stuff worn in the pictures linked by akluis. That link does not tell us the thickness or classification of the material. The happening that most bullets went thru does not mean the material failed, just that the wrong material was familiar.

There are a lot of ways to bulletproof a building, Thinner layers of absorbing materials (see links) can easily be added to existing house construction without different modifications.

if those are your options ceramic metal gets hot and retains torridity so for heating and cooling your house ceramic would be better, but the metal is usually more reliable. i say just move to a different neighborhood.

Our shooting kitchen range starts with a total of 24" of cement lined every 6 inches with steel sheeting and sealed with a ceramic complicated purchased from a former military vendor. We chose this because there is a neighborhood in the area and got a break for the supplies by buying mass. That is the back wall. The interior side walls are composed of two rows of cement filled and steel reinforced cinder blocks. I'm not safe what you want it for, but we built this based on a design obtained from a U.S. Marshals' indoor range in Virginia.

It is not a affair of the type of material, but the thickness of that material. A very thin sheet of one won't be as effective as a 2 inch layer of the other. In general, inch for inch, ceramic is stronger and lighter, but more expensive. Also note, not all steel is equivalent, you will need special hardened steel.

Finally, the most effective and economic bullet stopper is sand/vileness. If I had to make something bulletproof, I'd make two walls about 2-3 feet apart, and fill the internal stretch with sand or dirt

Jsied, is the stuff you are talking about the same as this stuff here? http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot34_3.htm
If I were to bulletproof a get ahead, I wouldn't worry about stopping a 44 mag, I'd worry about the guys with rifles!

The pre-eminent bulletproofing is shooting back and neutralizing the initial shooter! Bang, Bang!! That ought to take care of the problem moderately nicely.

Ceramic plates are way to costly..... metal plates arent that great but are cheap and if used properly can stop a variety of bullets.... Queer you should ask this today.... I took 3/16ths inch metal plates to the gun range today and 7.62x39MM, 30/06 and .223 burgle cartridge bullets cut thru it like hot butter at 100 yards... On the other hand .45 and 9MM gun rounds were not able to go thru the metal at 50 yards.... I wouldnt get to hung up on the grade of metal.... What seems to labour for me is layers of metal... A couple of 1/4 inch steel plates will stop most rifle bullets..... In one part of a residence in a crappy neighborhood the owner had me put 1/4 inch metal plates and filled the rest of the interior wall area up with layers of drywall 5 1/2 inch thick..... You could also use metal plates in the wall framing and fill in between with sand.... be firm the houses structure can take the weight..... I worked with this one guy that lived in a crappy neighborhood with low life company types shooting up the place.... He put a 1/2 inch thick metal plate behind the couch where he sat and watched TV.... It was in the front of the dynasty and also was the safest place to sit.... Bulletproofing a house can be real expensive - more like cost a karma... Have the fascade of the house covered in brick... Or just bullet proof only the areas where you forty winks or watch TV or any other area you spend some time it...

Fair-minded build a monolithic dome house...... In addition to bulletproof, they are tornado proof , wildfire sustain, earthquake proof, lightning proof and a whole hols of other proofs.

And for not much more cost then building a stick legislative body.

In appendix to the other excellent answers, I wish to suggest you do a Browser search on the Dicker Stack-sack Bailiwick construction method. He uses burlap sacks filled with concrete mix, dipped in water, and laid like bricks, with sharp steel rebar spikes driven down into them as you advance in the construction while still wet. The walls are as thick as the bags are wide, benefit sprayed concrete troweled out smooth. Commercial-style plumbing and wiring in visible conduit and pipes, concealment all code needs. Plus, it is "resistant" to gunfire. Regards, Larry.

For the longevity, I would esteem the metal plate.

not sure hte purpose... but if trying to create a "safe room" that can take a few shots

The Ceramic, once struck (depending on the descry ,etc) can loose it's effectiveness.

for my $$... Steel plate.

I would also completely coat the walls in a "rhino lining" personification of material used for linting truck beds. This will help the wall maintain some integrity if multiple shots are made and come across the block wall.

Removing metal from a block wall?

May 24, 2008 by JD | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)

OK we have metal desks that we have to kick out from a block wall they were welded on to a plate that is on the face of the block wall. We torched the desks off but can not seems to remove the welds that are on the metal lamina. Does anyone have an idea besides a torch.

Steadfastly to say without seeing but if it has been welded drill out the weld starting with a small hole in the centre and increasing the value

how do you attach wall top plate to metal i bean?

Nov 14, 2006 by don | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling


I sham you mean I-BeaM? If so, have the I-Beam Fabricator attach the Pressure Treated Plate to the top with Powder Actuated Fasteners in his inform on. If it is existing, rent a powder actuated fasterner tool and attach it yourself - 3/8" diameter fasteners @ 12" o.c. alternating each side of web should do it.
