Am writing a script for an amateur production zombie movie to be submitted for an upcoming horror movie fest but I'd like to get some pistol technical details right.
Will the following rounds penetrate a human skull?
1) .38 special 148gr wadcutter target load fired from a 4" barrel at 25 meters?
2) .32ACP FMJ fired from a 3.75" barrel at 10 meters?
3) .380 83gr JHP fired from a 3.75" barrel at 12 meters?
4) .22LR 40gr standard velocity fired from a 6" barrel at 25 meters?
Also, I have a construction site hardhat lying around. How useful is it as a skull simulant if I shoot it for testing purposes?
