From: military@att.att.com (Bill Thacker) I seem to recall having some people from the Ballistic Research Lab reading this group, so I'm sure someone out there can answer this one... Does anyone have what I believe is called the Subject Equation ? The formula allows one to calculate the effective thickness of sloped armor; that is, given a 50mm plate sloped 50 degrees from vertical, it's effective thickness might be 85mm or so.
