BALLISTIC PROTECTION

摘要

A ballistic shield for protection against projectiles (2) fired from small arms is designed as a wall structure comprising an outer element (3) allowing passage-through of the projectile (2) without the latter being deformed and/or decelerated to any substantial degree, an intermediate element (4), which is arranged to force the projectile (2) to tip and to cause it to decelerate heavily, and an inner element (5), which is struck by and ultimately arrests the projectile. The outer element (3) is configured as a thin plate (6) of a soft material, allowing unobstructed passage-through of the projectile (2) while the intermediate element (4) is formed by a layer (7) of a decelerating material designed to cause the projectile to tip and be heavily decelerated, and the inner element (5) is configured as a thin plate (8) of a material absorbing the remaining kinetic energy of the projectile.
