Wow, box of truth is pretty cool. So it looks like if a round happened to not hit a stud or some solid piece of furniture, a round could probably go all the way through a modern balloon frame construction home. Definitely something to think about.

Sounds like I need to ask bad guys to stand between me and neighbors I might like the least. And I'll ask them to hold really still while they're at it.

Who has built mock ups of their interior/exterior walls and 2nd story floors and shot at them with their SD ammo and FMJ?

I may try this next time I go out to the shooting range that will allow me to bring whatever "targets" I want.

I am very interested in seeing how rounds would behave in my house either by stupid/negligent discharges (I hope never) or BG misses (Also I hope never)

Anyway if you've done this, please show a link or tell about your results. Otherwise, maybe we can come up with a set of tests shots to do.

I'm thinking about building a mock up wall with 1/2" sheet rock separated by 2x4 and a floor with carpet, padding, 3/4" plywood and 1/2" sheetrock on the other side to be ceiling of ground floor.

Although a floor shot would probably be from waist height, I don't think it would actually be a good idea to be that close to a hard target just to try it out. Will a shot from 10 feet be safe and give mostly the same results?

Thanks!
