Ordinary gypsum plasterboard and Knauf Torro gypsum plasterboard bullet-proofing
2023
Overview
Bullet-proof walls are recently attractive also outside of specialized areas with the most threat of attack. Nevertheless, an average wall cannot protect us from an intentional or stray bullet. Therefore, five stands were made of gypsum wall panels, ordinary plasterboard, and Knauf bullet-proof plasterboard, fired with two different calibers of weapons. The results were documented through photography. The test results show the ballistic resistance of enhanced materials, not ordinary plasterboard. The obtained results are compared with the technical information. The aim was to test whether plasterboard, the most used material in construction, is comparable to bullet-proof structures. These results will be used to complement the standard LVS 1061 “Gypsum boards and board systems. Design and use rules”, as well as for individual use in protection against external bullet threats or to prevent ricochets.
