CTK246 Posted March 10, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 10, 2011 OK, I know this is EXTREMLY ridiculous, but my friend keeps telling me that the windows on NTTs are bulletproof. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted March 10, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 10, 2011 No they are not. They are LEXAN glass so they are vandalization proof, but they are not bulletproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted March 10, 2011 Share #5 Posted March 10, 2011 I think Amtrak and commuter rail car windows are bulletproof. FRA requires a certain glazing, not sure if SIR has an exemption to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vistausss Posted March 10, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 10, 2011 No US train, to my knowledge, has bullet proof glass. LIRR has bulletproof glas AFAIK and probably Amtrak too. Probably trains that go in and out of Washington too, you know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted March 11, 2011 Share #11 Posted March 11, 2011 only one way to find out I've seen a few bullet piercings on a few express bus windows, so they must use similar glass on the subways too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted March 12, 2011 Share #17 Posted March 12, 2011 For the record, the steel used for the storm doors is bulletproof for small caliber weapons if I'm not mistaken. In fact, I remember riding on an R38 with a variety of bullet hits in the storm door, but no piercings. I'm not sure it they were bullet marked dents, but I saw a few of them on the R62As when they were on the . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted March 13, 2011 Share #23 Posted March 13, 2011 Are you talking about the redbird that was in the movie? I didn't know the movie money train car was operational still, esp after seeing the movie and the operator controls looked fictional and nothing like a real life SMEE car. Nice to hear another R21 got saved and still runs! (In addition to the real money in the TM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOB2RTO Posted March 14, 2011 Share #24 Posted March 14, 2011 Call MythBusters? They actually did an episode on regular car windows. Found out, that it is movie hype when someone takes one shot at a car with a regular "hollow point bullet", and hits the target. It takes multiple shots, to break the glass, then hit the target. The initial bullet, usually gets deflected when hitting the glass......... Armour piercing on the other hand, well it has its name for a reason..........

metsfan Posted March 15, 2011 Share #25 Posted March 15, 2011 FRA part whatever it is glazing states that the glazing must resist a cinder block and a .22 caliber bullet. Basically the bullet deforms the plastic. Railroad (think LIRR/PATH/NJT/amtrak) windows are quarter inch poly-carbonate. PATH has an additional inner scratch resistant laminate. Subway windows, as far as i can tell, are the same thickness, and also have the laminate. http://law.justia.com/cfr/title49/49-4.1.1.1.18.html#49:4.1.1.1.18.2 - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
