Interesting that they are all so different looking...I am assuming it is the same strength plexiglass used with each differentl type of bullet, one would think the impact sites would be similar looking.... But only larger for the higher capacity rounds and grain ....

I’m wondering what my favorite, the .50BMG would look like?

Pretty pictures. If I were a criminal, I believe I’d have second thoughts.
