Published on February 25, 2013
Duration: 9:38

This expert-level guide details a wall penetration test conducted by Eric and Chad from Moss Pawn and Gun, utilizing various Brenneke 12-gauge slugs against simulated residential walls. The experiment demonstrates that standard home construction offers minimal protection against shotgun slugs, with even reduced recoil loads penetrating common materials. The test highlights the significant power and barrier penetration capabilities of Brenneke ammunition.

Quick Summary

A wall penetration test by Iraqveteran8888 using Brenneke 12-gauge slugs demonstrated that standard residential construction, including exterior walls and cinder blocks, offers virtually no protection against these projectiles. Even reduced recoil loads penetrated effectively, highlighting the significant power of shotgun slugs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of walls were tested against Brenneke shotgun slugs?

The test included a standard exterior house wall (Hardie siding, plywood, studs, insulation, and drywall), a cinder block wall, and a brick wall to simulate various barrier types encountered in different environments.

Which Brenneke 12-gauge slugs were used in the wall penetration test?

The test featured three Brenneke 12-gauge slugs: the Special Forces Short Magnum (1 1/4 oz, 1476 fps), the Maximum Barrier Penetration Magnum (1 3/8 oz, 1650 fps), and the Tactical Home Defense (1 oz, 1378 fps).

Do standard residential walls offer protection against shotgun slugs?

No, the test demonstrated that standard residential walls offer virtually no protection against shotgun slugs. All three tested Brenneke loads penetrated the entire exterior wall structure with ease.

Can cinder blocks stop shotgun slugs?

Cinder blocks do not provide reliable cover against 12-gauge shotgun slugs. All tested slugs penetrated the blocks, with heavier loads punching through cleanly and a reduced recoil load causing significant structural damage.
