And in tank warfare this is called spalling

A projectile hits the armor and doesn't penetrate it, but the armor inside still fragments and injured the operators

There a picture of glass spall in the cockpit and it's not unusual for ballistics glass to spall when hit by a projectile.

> Spalling

This was also adopted by The Expanse, where the interiors of ships (particularly war ships) are coated in antispalling coatings.

Hey bossman thanks for pointing this out. Will have to look for it next time I watch. Yam seng.

It’s mentioned in the books, kopeng. I think it comes up in some of the repair scenes, but there’s such a jargon dump in many of them that it might slip by. Naomi is caressing some of it at one point, like she’s petting a cat. Which is not far off from how she sees the Roci.

*bosmang. I'm not sure it's mentioned in the show, but it is in the books.

My read is that it works mostly for battle shrapnel and space mining accidents and does nothing for kinetic weapons, hit or miss for micrometeoroids.

Shed was killed by a railgun round. These are kinetic projectiles, spall lining doesn't do anything against those.

That would be two layers though.

But the coloration in the window sure suggests spalling. I’m surprised the tempered glass did that much damage. That takes a lot of velocity. Which is probably why they aren’t thinking bird.
