I would be even more interested in seeing a test where walls are shot at a 45° angle instead of 90 ° There is a very slim chance you'll be shooting at a bad guy square on to your interior walls.

It might not have very much effect on buckshot or a pistol bullet, but I bet it would have a dramatic effect on a 55 gr. .223.
