This Gun Talk Radio episode addresses a critical home defense scenario: what to do when an intruder breaches a multi-story home, especially with children present. Host Tom provides essential tips and considerations for viewers facing this stressful situation. The discussion is geared towards practical advice for homeowners concerned about their safety and security in a multi-level dwelling.
This Hornady .223 Rem 73gr Critical Defense FTX gel test reveals that while the round performs well in short-barreled AR-15s (10.5"), its penetration is inadequate for self-defense with longer 16" barrels. The test showed 13.6" penetration in gel from a 10.5" barrel, with significant fragmentation and a temporary stretch cavity of 6"x4". However, Hornady's own tests with a 16" barrel yielded only 10" penetration, suggesting higher velocity from longer barrels can cause premature expansion and reduced effectiveness.
