Over the last few weeks we have done a very informal penetration test. We have used handguns in calibers that are not the first choice for carry. It seems like .38 Special +P or 9mm is the minimum any more.
This test was done on whatever firearm we were shooting at the time. There was a scrap piece of treated pine 2 X 12 available and we decided to shoot one round at it. The distance was 7 yards.
As you can see, we used a .22 Short, .22 Long Rifle, .22 Magnum, .25 Auto, .32 Auto, .32 S&W, .380 ACP. and .38 Special. Let's hear some guess as to which rounds you think passed through the board and the ones that you think did not pass through.
I'll leave this up a while and see what some of you think and then I'll show the other side of the board. Which ones did and which ones didn't?
