Bourque Industries' Kryron Armor Stops .50 Cal AP Rounds
14 Juli 2011 - 3:15PM
Business Wire
Bourque Industries, Inc. (OTC:BORK) today announced that the
Company yesterday demonstrated unprecedented ballistic protection
from its new Kryron armor and a significant improvement over
earlier test results, defeating several .50 caliber armor piercing
rounds with a lightweight armor plate designed for personal body
armor.
The tests were conducted at the request of an unspecified
military agency, at an unspecified military installation, and with
unspecified senior military officials in attendance.
Bourque demonstrated increased protection over previous test
results for its Kryron Terminator personal ballistic armor line and
exceptional multi-impact capability. A Terminator Fat Boy plate was
shot multiple times with .50 caliber AP ammunition and .30 caliber
AP ammunition, then reversed and shot with the same rounds again,
with no penetration, ricochet, shatter or spall.
In addition, a Terminator Thin Line plate sustained several
dozen rounds of 9mm machine gun fire at exceptionally close range
with no penetration, ricochet, shatter or spall.
All results were achieved with weight savings over the current
industry-standard personal protection armor plates.
Bourque also successfully demonstrated proof-of-concept for
industry-leading, multi-impact and lightweight armor protection for
land-based US military tactical vehicles and US military
aircraft.
“This is the most important testing day Bourque Industries has
had, as now all doubt about Kryron's capability should finally be
laid to rest,” said John M. Bourque, inventor of Kryron and founder
of Bourque Industries. “It is clear that Kryron is the best
ballistic armor material on the market today, and the clear choice
to protect America's warfighters on land, in the air, and on the
seas.”
