bulletproof glass

Stops bullets, transmits light

Bulletproof glass is glass reinforced to resist penetration by bullets, typically made of layered glass and plastic.

It's used in banks, armored vehicles, and security installations.

The term is somewhat misleading—most such glass is bullet-resistant rather than truly impervious, with different grades rated for different calibers and velocities.
