≈230-ish joules is basically the energy of a .32 ACP bullet btw (some loadings of it anyway, a single cartridge can vary a lot in its different variants ). the ≈190-ish joules on the lighter stone is comparable to some .22LR loads

the visor was 8mm polycarbonate, and that smashed... now, polycarbonate is, basically, is often used in place of bulletproof glass, it's used for riot shields...
