I'd like to find someone from out of town that needs some "rennovation" to their home  Maybe Mythbusters will do a more accurate test if I write in? Then again, maybe my curiousity will get the better of me... there are some deserts out here, and all I would need are the same materials and about 100 feet to stage a 3-room wall set up. Maybe I'll set aside some money over the next couple of months and do some of my own testing....
My friends and I have everything from a .22 to a 30-06, and multiple ammo types for each firearm...
If I decide to do this, I'll be back here asking for everyone's input to the test conditions to make sure I don't miss anything. |
That would be cool.
These pics might more accurately convey what I was talking about. Here are some images I took when my house was being built. Obviously there's a lot more to hit than just sheetrock.
