I am suspicious of the reference to "Plexiglas", a brand name for acrylic. Acrylic doesn't do anything. I'm sure the vehicle must use some type of polycarbonate, which is much stronger and a variation of it is used for making "bullet proof"glass.

The specifications for the $400 million "up-armoring" program are online and they specify Plexiglas. If there is a better product out there they need a better salesman because the company building the "up-armored" humvees stated Plexiglas specifically.
