1/4" of 304 Stainless steel at a 45* angle.

Pretty bullet proof for anything that I can throw at it.

That mark at the centre suggests that he did :)

Good job, though I still think it is probably just delaying the inevitable ;)

So you are deflecting projectiles UP???

Your neighbours won't be happy.

How 'bout down into a bucket of sand or something??

BTB: I think it goes the other way.

I think your main issue is the wood support breaking before the steel does.

DOWN!!


The deflector goes like this >>>> \ ProChrono

I don't expect to shoot the shield but if It hit, I hope that it is over grass.


I can place the steel on either side if the 45* slanted plywood.

I've been meaning to do this for awhile with my chrony. However, I've already shot mine once and used the opportunity to upgrade from an F-1 to the Alpha version. :D
