Pretty sure that was talking about a fat block of ballistic glass, not several inches of brick.


Exactly. And by fat block I also mean several sheets. In a way its a lot like activated charcoal after it gets hit. It can spread the impact so much that it can't get through. (Activated charcoal works as an absorbent by having tons of micro fissures that greatly increases its effective surface area.)
