"Computer Shopper" magazines made for great backstops when zeroing scopes in a .22lr rifle.
I suspect layering paper with a squishy resin in multiple layers would be very effective armor. Is paper close enough to call it "from wood"?
- binarymax 3y agoLayering paper and resin makes a material called “Micarta” which has been around for awhile.
- h2odragon 3y agotil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micarta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micarta that appears to be pressure injecting resin so it blends with fibers and makes a solid. Early reinforced bakelite. I'm thinking layers of interleaved paper and a resin. Free to move internally, slightly; with some fluidity remaining in the goo. It'd need a hard shell layer too but im thinking "spiderweb" shock resilience might come from the fluid component. like Air between the pages of the magazines.
- a2tech 3y agoMy grandfather was a gun smith and he hated going outside in the winter to test out guns so he had a thick stack of old phone books in his basement outside his gun room and he'd fire into them semi regularly while building/repairing guns. Those phone books would easily stop even semi 'serious' rounds.
