[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3652604, member: 15054"] I do not see why You could not do it. .080" thick would be closest to the 2MM Some buses have aluminum backs on the seats.. there used to be a bus salvage yard somewhere in the metro. Could steel sheet work just as well? Say barn metal or something like that. If you make the footing on it narrow and shift some of the weight to the rear it will easily fall over when hit. If they are shooting airsoft pellets i wonder if those would penetrate typical .025" aluminum. that is the thickness of aluminum siding. You could glue a thin steel sheet to the back of the siding aluminum and make it less prone to dents and penetration. Just tossing that out there because a sheet of .080" aluminum can get pricey.
