Ballistic Testing
Three rounds stopped. All contained.
The Delta Panel was tested against .50 BMG and 7.62×51mm NATO at 15 ft. The .50 BMG rounds match UL-RF-J, the UL 752 designation for the most demanding rifle threats. 3 consecutive rounds went into the same 12 × 12 × 4″ composite panel. No exits. Every projectile stayed inside the panel.
UL 752 asks for a single-shot stop. These panels held under three rounds to the same point.
