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...
   I've not done any scientific testing but from lots of hours of shooting paintball guns at things the only things I've ever shot through were plastic plant pots and the tail lights on my old Fiat.
