This video conducts ballistic testing on common home construction materials against three popular calibers: .22LR, 9mm, and 5.56 NATO. The materials tested include half-inch sheetrock, half-inch OSB plywood, and 2x6 or 2x4 lumber. The purpose is to provide a practical understanding of projectile penetration through typical home barriers, addressing concerns about over-penetration in home defense scenarios.
This video conducts ballistic testing on common home construction materials: half-inch sheetrock, half-inch OSB plywood, and 2x6 lumber. The tests evaluate penetration depth against .22LR, 9mm, and 5.56x45mm rounds. The findings highlight significant differences in stopping power between materials and calibers, emphasizing the importance of avoiding missed shots in home defense scenarios due to potential wall penetration.
