Process to add bullet resistance to an existing wall
A method for retrofitting a preexisting wall to include bullet resistance. The retrofitted wall incorporates ballistic paver blocks that are capable of augmenting either an interior or exterior wall. The flexibility gained by using ballistic paver blocks affords cost and weight savings over traditional concrete, or alternatively, metal shielding.
