Critical thicknesses of building materials [TANKS]

[Ben Kropp <Ben.Kropp-at-canberra.edu.au>]

Hi All,

Does anybody know the critical thicknesses (minimum thickness before 
penetration of a paintball) of any of the regularly used building 
materials? ie, lexen (plexiglass, acrylic sheet), ply, galvinised tin, 
MDF etc....

As paint balling is a fairly well controlled sport here in OZ- its a bit 
tricky to just go out the back and test.....  so any help would be much 
appreciated...

many thanks,

Ben (Down Under)
