![]() With their engineering education and shooting experiences, the pair formed the idea to build a system that more accurately reflected the muscles, sternum, and rib bones a defensive round would encounter on an actual center mass shot. Intruder in a Box is the creation of Dave Giurintano, CEO of UBS, who holds a Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering (MSME) and teaches Senior Design at Louisiana State University’s Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and Joey LaBlanc, MSME and Design and Development Engineer for UBS.īoth are hardcore shooting enthusiasts or “geeks” as they sometimes refer to themselves. Then, more “bone” material and muscle/sternum-like flex material are at the very rear of the box.Ĩ – Outer Cardboard = Skin. Next, the elongated rectangle behind each of these bullseyes holds a water-filled plastic container, followed by what looks like an air pillow used for packing-air to represent an expanded lung. Directly behind this is a much harder but thinner layer of a hard plastic-like material. Behind the cardboard is a tough but flexible layer of a rubbery material. The front of the Intruder box has nine bullseyes embossed onto the cardboard. You know, that thing we might have to shoot regardless of how much we’d hate to? In creating a facsimile of what an actual self-defense bullet might have to go into and through, the Intruder may well provide a better representation of what can and can not be expected of said bullet. Second, unlike ballistic gel, Intruder in a Box is constructed to actually mimic the human body. First, the Intruder in a Box, made by Unbound Ballistic Solutions (UBS), Baton Rouge, Louisiana, sells for a reasonable $89.99, plus another $20.00 for shipping.
