Hello, I was wondering why all submarine Windows that I find on the web are acrylic (Plexiglas) and not glass; I couldn’t get anyone to quote me the acrylics view ports for the KM-350, not even the companies listed in the psubs website, so I tried to get them local and I couldn’t find 2 inch thick Plexiglas either, what I did find is laminated industrial glass, custom made to the specs I gave them, and they guarantied me that it will resist up to 800 PSI, also the sales agent told me that I couldn’t break that glass not even if I shoot it with an Uzi. Does any one know the differences, advantages and disadvantages of using glass instead of Plexiglas?

 

Daniel.
