@Demi:
Do you want me to run the math of whether or not your design will work against a .61 Vent Assault Rifle round?

Well, the formula is quite simple, actually:

To calculate projectile piercing: Momentum of Projectile - (Layer 1 relative Mass*UTS + L2 relative mass*UTS + L3 relative Mass*UTS)
Note: UTS stands for Ultimate Tensile Strength, or how much newtons of force can the material withstand without deforming.

To calculate shock damage: (Kinetic energy of Projectile - Electrical Charge by reactive armor)/Spherical Explosion Area
Note: Spherical Explosion area = Pi*r^2
r= Distance between first layer and second layer * Tan (angle of spherical Explosion)

PS: I did a mistake in my calculations a few pages ago. The formula for spherical explosion should be the one above, not r^2/4.
