Did some shooting recently and used old car tires, stacked on their sidewalls, as a place to staple paper targets.
After shooting a few hundred rounds of FMJ 40 S&W and 10 mm out of pistols I noticed that none of the rounds penetrated the tires! There was not a single hole anywhere to be found. So much for shooting the tires out like you see cops do on TV.
So is it stupid to use car tires as a backstop? Do bullets have the potential to come back to the shooter?
