An interconnect system for modularly fabricating bullet stops is disclosed including a plurality of bullet proof plates which are placed adjacent one another to form a seam which is covered by a facing strip. A plurality of bolts extend through the facing strip and through a backing mechanism positioned on an opposite side of the plates. When the bolts are tightened, the facing strip and backing pull towards one another and hold the plates together. The facing strips and other teachings of the invention allow standard plates to be used rather than large and specially manufactured plates.

[ What is claimed is:] [8.] An interconnect system for modularly fabricated bullet stops, the system comprising:a plurality of bullet proof plates, each plate having at least one lateral edge juxtaposed with a lateral edge of another said plate so as to form a plurality of seams;a plurality of facing strips formed from bullet proof material disposed along the seam between two adjacent said plates, each facing strip comprising an elongate metal strip with a plurality of holes;backing means connected to the plurality of facing strips; andclamp means connected to the backing means and the facing strips for drawing the backing means and the facing strips toward one another so as to clamp the lateral edges of the plates between the facing means and the backing means and thereby form removable, bullet resistant joints at the seams; anda frame attached to the facing strip and spaced away from the plates so as to form a bullet containment means adjacent the plates.
