Subdivision home defense weapons

[stubbicatt]

I am most certainly not an expert on this subject. However, I have done some penetration tests with 40 cal, 9mm, and 5.56 Vmax bullets. Shot thru 2x4s, and drywall, into a row of gallon water bottles. For myself, after these tests, I choose the 55 grain Vmax or Hornady TAP for its demonstrated effectiveness on water bottles and lack of penetration through the the jugs.

I don't know that any answer is perfect in all regards, as these are projectile weapons, and we are responsible for where these projectiles go, and where they end up, I do my best to discharge my responsibility.

.45 and 12 gauge here, too. As far as penetration goes, I have seen HP handgun rounds travel through a lot of walls. It seems like the drywall prevents the round from expanding and it acts like a FMJ from there on making perfect holes in 2x4's and plywood. It looks like a drill was used.
