I have a job for a governmental building, they're asking for my guidance to make a bullet proof wall where they sit at the meetings in case a gunman comes in and starts shooting at them from the audience.
Its looking like 3/8" AR 500 plate should be more than sufficient to stop any hand gun round and even most long guns.
So my question is: Is there a difference between the AR500 that I buy from my structural steel supply house ( in this case Alro ) verses where the target builders get their steel, my supplier sells AR500 F, the F denotes formable, formable is what I need because I need to roll it, in my case it will be rolled in a press brake, I just have to put a slight curve in it.
Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
