armored glass

Shatterproof transparent barrier

Armored glass is glass strengthened to resist impact, bullets, or explosions.

It typically consists of multiple layers of glass and plastic laminated together, absorbing and dispersing force across the surface.

Banks, government buildings, and armored vehicles use it for protection: The bullet cracked but didn't penetrate the armored glass.

Also called bulletproof glass, though no glass is truly bulletproof against all threats.
