The 12 ga slug made it through four. How many keyboards can Yugoslavian M67 7.62x39mm 124 gr FMJ get through when fired from a 16" WASR-10/63?

How many keyboards can an AK shoot through?

2A was "political" when it was first adopted.
Guessed 12. Can you melt them down and re-cast them like ballistic gelatin?
I was thinking in terms of what a .30-30 would do, and then cut it back by about 15% I think an SKS would have made it through >12.
Incidentally, Hatcher has noted that sometimes the same bullet from the same kind of cartridge will penetrate more at longer ranges than at shorter distances. He attributes this to the bullet being better stabilized (wobble, yaw) by the time it gets further downrange. He provides two pictures of penetration into oak from close range versus long range. See pages 405 to 408 in Hatcher's Notebook. (This, with the .30-06 service cartridge.)

Man, I never get these right (guessed 5-6) but it sure is fun to try!

Well, the finer the breakdown is, the less chances of getting it right by sheer random choice.
If the breakdown were "How many? 1 to 100?" everyone would get it right.
I've been lucky enough in days long gone to have done similar informal shooting at lots of "junk targets" of opportunity out in the boonies with lots of guns at lots of unknown ranges, so I often have a pretty good idea of what will happen in these polls.
I've been "attacked" by abandoned cars, downed trees, TV sets, water jugs, random rocks, a dime at 100 yards, etc.
I remember setting up the "Great One-Shot Bottlecap Hunt," were we would take turns at trying to hit a bottlecap at say, 50 yards, with our .22s.
This, in similar fashion to and inspired by the annual "Great One-Shop Antelope Hunt" competition that the Governors of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Montana used to engage in before the mass immigration of pantywaists
from back east took place. 
However, I admit I have never been attacked by multiple keyboards... thank goodness.
But now I know I can cope with 10 aggressive keyboards with the 7.62 X 39 cartridge.

Yeah, I'm no geographist, but I'm pretty sure that melted down keyboards would not perform the same as fresh ones.
