Yup. I've never made it, but apparently it doesn't take much of it to make it bullet proof. Its very very strong and doesn't melt as fast as regular ice.

I know for a fact that DYI used pykerete (If I ain't terribly misstaken) and he did it more then one time so I would think it worked out good.

I actually made some today with newspaper instead. It is for reinforcing a projectile (soda can) :)
