From the supplier: Ballistic barriers that protect personnel in banks or similar institutions are not totally bulletproof. However, reliable manufacturers sell protective barriers that have been tested by agencies such as United Laboratories, Inc. that list and rate these. Rating is according to the bullet impact the shield withstands and levels range from I, the lowest, to III. The barrier may be made of glass or plastic or a composite of both. Establishments that plan to install barriers should also consider wall armor for the counter.
