1/2" armor plate steel. Try changing guns and ammo instead. And ignore the 12 ga. "birdshot is great close up" mumbling...
Bricks work well.

Insulated foam form concrete...
With a nice brick exterior
For an interior wall?!?
Now you guys got me thinking,,
I sell galvanized sheet-steel for HVAC duct work,up to as thick as 18ga,
I would think a layer of 18ga steel witha layer of 1/2" sheetrock, then another layer
of steel with a final layer of interior 1/2" sheetrock would slow down just about any
small-caliber round to the point where it would no longer be deadly.
I will make such a wall,and test it when the weather calms down,
In theory , even a FMJ bullet hitting a layer of steel,with a dense material like sheetrock
behind it,supported by another layer of steel,would bring velocities to less than lethal,
Having the bookshelf full of books would be an excellent insurance barrier to stop shrapnel,, I normally sell 4'x8' sheets of 18ga steel for $39 a sheet
Experienced shooters know that many handgun rounds penetrate more in typical home construction than does .223for beginners: don't use .223 for home defense if over-penetration is your issue :banghead:
shotgun or handgun with JHP .....
