On a recent episode of the Secured Podcast, the hosts issued a bold challenge to the ballistic industry giants, including Armoured One. They invited industry leaders to their 11,000-acre Texas ranch, complete with a range and lodging, for a transparent, practical demonstration. The test will involve quarter-inch plate glass, like typical storefront windows, with no gimmicks—just a single-sided film installed on-site. For companies recommending eight mm films nationwide, this is a chance to prove their efficacy here.
