This product is only for the ultra-rich, clearly. This one way ballistic glass stops bullets but returns fire as well. How on earth is that possible? When shot from the other side however, the bullet hits the polycarbonate first, stretching it initially. This bending shatters the acrylic behind, leaving no residue behind once the bullet punches through, thus allowing the target to become the shooter!

 

Liquid Glass:

Surfaces like; screens, cases on your mobile devices, windows, glasses, car windscreens and other hard and soft surfaces, become stain resistant and can be easily cleaned with water and without the need of harsh cleaning chemicals.
