Do you want to protect your own life, take care of your family’s comfort and safety?
Then you should purchase or rent armored cars to save money and ensure the highest level of personal safety from direct hits of weapons of various calibers.
The market offers many options of vehicles that can protect a passenger from a regular bullet or from driving over a mine. Most often, armored cars are distinguished by their high cost as well as their level of protection. To avoid overpaying for a vehicle, you can rent it from companies.
What technologies are used to armor cars
To find out what kinds of armored vehicles exist and rent them to drive safely around the city, it is important to know that cars are divided into three classes.
- The first class includes executive vehicles; armored plates are used for their creation and are mounted on the car from all sides. Thanks to professional work, it is very difficult to distinguish an armored car from its regular counterpart.
- The second class includes vehicles, namely soft-road SUVs, which are characterized by strength, endurance, and an increased level of safety.
- The third class of vehicles includes SUVs and limousines of the executive class. Such vehicles can withstand any attacks, since they are initially manufactured with armored elements and have the highest degree of protection; the car can withstand driving over mines.
If you need to ensure safety and you don’t have a car that meets all requirements and standards at hand, you can contact a company that is ready at any time of the day to provide a car where there is armor of the car; you can rent a car for any period of time.
To quickly find companies, you need to enter a query in any search engine and all available vehicle options will be presented for review.
Armor levels of vehicles
When choosing, you need to know that the car’s armor depends on its personal level of protection. Therefore, to choose the right vehicle, it is necessary to know their gradation. There are 12 gradations of protection level from B 1 to – B 12.
B 1 – a regular car intended for city trips, without protection.
B 2 – can withstand a shot from a Makarov pistol, which can hit the same spot 5 times.
B 3 – the car’s armor can withstand shots from a Makarov pistol loaded with bullets with a steel core; it steadily withstands up to 5 hits in one place.
B 4 – can withstand if the shooting is conducted from a 3-meter distance with a .45 caliber pistol.
B 5 – the car’s armor can withstand shots from an M-16 rifle; the attacker can unsuccessfully hit the vehicle in one place more than 3 times.
B 6 – can withstand triple hits from a close distance, from 10 meters, from an M16 rifle.
B 7 – can withstand the explosion of a fragmentation grenade, as well as a shot from a rifle loaded with 7.62 caliber bullets with thermally hardened cores.
B 12 – the most powerful and safest car; the car’s armor can withstand any shots from known weapons, the detonation of a grenade on the car or directly near it, as well as driving over a mine and its blast wave.
How the car armoring procedure is carried out
To achieve maximum protection and safety, car armoring is carried out in several stages.
- Inside the vehicle, qualified specialists create a protective capsule; externally, the vehicle does not differ from regular cars offered on the market.
- The vehicle is completely disassembled; the interior trim, decorative elements and other accessories are removed to install the car’s armor that provides passenger protection.
- The existing cavities are filled with metal sheets.
- For protection, qualified specialists can use different types of materials: sheet metal, ballistic nylon, Kevlar, to ensure the maximum level of safety and passenger protection.
- For high-quality car armoring, a third hinge is used on the doors so it can withstand the load from the mass of metal and so that it does not fall off during direct hits, since vibration occurs.
- To give the roof and floor maximum protection, from the inside of the cabin they are lined with special fabrics, during the production of which aramid threads are used; therefore the fabric is called ballistic.
- For glass strength, the car’s armor is made from materials such as lead glass or polycarbonate. Glass thickness determines the vehicle’s protection level. For the second protection level, 2 cm glass is used, and for B 12 — 5 cm thick glass.
- Specialized tires are used; to armor a car it is necessary to have reinforced tire sidewalls, inside they are filled with liquid, which will allow you to drive 50 kilometers even with punctured wheels.
- In cars with protection level B 12, a special plate is attached to the bottom of the body, which withstands mine explosions, even when directly driving over them.
