An Investigation of the Effects of Laminated Glass on Bullet Deflection

Abstract:

This study finds that, because of the gun and ammunition used, bullet deflection varies when penetrating a laminated windshield, but not enough to significantly alter the calculated location of a shooter. All of the rounds, with the exception of two, fell within the generally accepted range of negative five degrees to positive five degrees used in shooting reconstruction.
