  1. Hmmm... interesting, thanks for the responses. My source was Boeing for the 12.7mm resistant cockpit as well as 23mm survivability from other directions.

    The Apache's canopy is indeed rated to be bulletproof against 12.7mm (.50 cal), but even then it doesn't mean it can't be shot to bits. Just means that each window should survive X number of .50 rounds. I'm not surprised that close range AK fire (i.e. heavy bullets coming fast) in some cases would manage to get through if enough rounds hit the same window.

    In my case I fired one shot on a newly spawned AH-64D through the glass and killed the gunner. Same thing with the hind.
