is it possible to make body armour out of metal that is bullet proof today?
and if so using common construction metals
i.e mild steel,
stainless steel
spring steel
aluminium
what is the mimimum thickness required to prevent penetration of standard 5.56 nato and .50 cal ammunition at a distnce of 30 feet
These days, with the emergence of new materials and new plastics, we don't use metals for bulletproofing. If you needed weighty metals for protection, you'd be using an iron bike helmet! Above this, metals aren't very good at deflecting bullets; a bullet's more likely to pierce the metal, or just dent it. You'd need quite a few inches of metals just to protect yourself from the average carbine!
On the contrary, consider this: If I shot a high-powered sniper rifle round straight down into water, the bullet would be destroyed before it made it 3 feet underwater.
The point is, we've got stronger, cheaper, and lighter materials (like Kevlar) than metals. I assure you, if metals were good bulletproofing, the U.S. Military would use it.
If I may ask, why would you need to know how to make cheap bulletproofing out of common, everyday materials? 30 feet seems about as close-quarters as an average shootout in a city would get.
