“…The application of a thin polymer film to the rear of a glass window improves safety . Also, lamination of glass with transparent polymer layers allows vehicle windshields or windows in buildings to withstand low‐velocity impact without shattering . Thicker versions are used in armoured vehicles to make them proof against even high‐velocity rifle bullets .…”

The purpose of this review is to introduce the interested reader to the literature on the use of silica glasses in ballistic applications. These applications include optically transparent windows (where their amorphous nature, appropriate band gap, and cheapness make them ideal window materials) as well as layers in opaque armours designed to be resistant to shaped charges. In the latter application, their increase in volume (bulking) on fracture disrupts the shaped charge jet. Other topics covered in this review include low‐velocity damage by windborne debris, liquid and solid impact, dynamic methods of testing (Hopkinson pressure bar, Taylor impact, and plate impact shock loading), and constitutive models. The use of glass as a shaped charge is also discussed.
