Motorists shell out big money to hijack-proof their vehicles at Armormax
Grant Anderson shows a bulletproofed window that saved the driver's life in an actual hijacking attempt.It’s hard to believe there is glass capable of stopping such a bullet, until you see the array of shot-up car windows displayed in the entrance hall of Armormax which did just that. Some of the windows were used for demonstrations while others saved lives in actual hijacking attempts.
Contrary to popular belief, very few clients are high-profile people and about 10% of them might “ping on the radar”, says Anderson. Apart from the glass, all doors and rear seats of the bulletproofed vehicles are armoured , while the more extensive B6 protection also includes the floor, roof, pillar posts and engine firewall. The B6 package includes an intercom system with an external microphone.
The company’s B6 package adds about 600kg to the weight of a Range Rover, compared to about 2,000kg for steel armouring.
