TY - JOUR PY - 1939// TI - Behavior of bullets fired through glass JO - Journal of criminal law and criminology A1 - Harper, William W. SP - 718 EP - 723 VL - 29 IS - 5 N2 - Law enforcement officers are frequently required to exchange fire with armed criminals under conditions which depart radically from those of ordinary target shooting. Occasionally, for example, it becomes necessary to fire through glass windows, either in build- ings or in automobiles. A cursory review of the literature fails to disclose any investigation as to the accuracy of fire under such conditions. As a consequence, tests have been conducted to determine the behavior of bullets passing through glass. The object of this paper is to report on the results of these tests.
