Abstract. An experimental programme was conducted to investigate the mechanics of
perforation of the 7.62-mm NATO Ball round through multiple glass
array. Two separate experimental trials were conducted using a multiple
glass array as a target. In the first experiments, the
spacing in between the glass plates and the areal density
were varied. In the second trials, the plates had no
spacing in-between and the areal density was fixed. Results indicating
the nature of the penetration mechanism are presented with specific
reference to the formation of the cone of comminuted glass
that propagates from the front plate subsequent to its perforation.
