...."1. Notice that the #4 and #1 Buck penetrated 6 boards. In previous tests, 9mm, .45 ACP, and M-193 out of an AR all penetrated all 12 boards.
So, it seems that these loads do not "over-penetrate" as much as some have led us to believe.
The 00 Buck penetrated 8 boards, but was stopped by the 9th. Still not as much penetration as the pistol or rifle loads.
The slug penetrated all 12 boards....The slugs were "bad" penetrators. By that, I mean that they will penetrate several interior walls. If you have loved ones in your home, consider this as you select your home defense weapon."

Someone on here just recently posted up a police report where the assailant was shot 17 times, 13 times from a 40 S&W and it wasn't until the last 5 rounds from a .223 that he finally died. And why? Because none of the 40 caliber rounds penetrated more than an inch, making them superficial wounds. The assailant kept shooting back at the police.

Now if I'm in my home, and someone is trying to kill me, I'm not going to politely ask them to stop by hitting them with bird shot. I'm going to hit them with something that will convince them they are dead.
