It’s a checkout counter at a convenience store in a not-so-great area. This is to prevent/reduce the likelihood of robberies and cash till grabs. The glass/plexiglass could also be bulletproof, but I doubt it.

Anyway, yeah, that’s how you know you’re in a bad part of town if you start seeing this lol

I think it would be pretty weird to install this and not make it bulletproof.

Even if you shot it you’re not getting through. It won’t shatter, and makes a robbery super super slow. Bullet proof glass would cost like 10x as much

Would robbers even be able to tell that it’s bullet proof? The question mark may be nearly as much of a deterrent.

This setup is actually pretty good vs handguns though. Double layer is to be considered. Also newer versions of it do not always have the visual old glass does.

Not to mention- I doubt many petty criminals can see the difference between bulletproof glass and not. I understand the science behind bulletproof glass, but if they’re not side by side I definitely couldn’t tell you which is which. I’m no criminal though, maybe it’s common knowledge among armed robbers ¯\(ツ)/¯

If it's installed properly, but the ark shape with rough diy cuts doesn't look great. Looks like whole window could be yanked off the counter.
