This ballistic test evaluates home defense ammunition through simulated interior walls. Small-caliber rifle rounds like .223/5.56mm frangible or varmint projectiles demonstrated superior performance, delivering maximum energy with minimal over-penetration risk. Traditional 12 Gauge buckshot and .45 ACP showed significant penetration concerns, while some 9mm rounds offered a better balance of stopping power and safety.
