I use XXXX for home defense to prevent overpenetration...

Fellow shoots drywall sheets with .22 LR: Velocitor and Stinger to see how may walls it will penetrate.
Out of a pistol he got through 4 -5 walls, out of a rifle 5 walls. .22 LR. "Weak ammo."
Makes you think...

Point to posting these videos is: if you're worried about over-penetration, pretty much anything will do it.
I have read that the frangibles do minimize the issue, but I've read of other issues...
The 9mm MP5 is soooooooo, 90s.
The results favored the rifle rounds.

The average BG is probably closer to 11.5 to 12 inches thick, ; but, I expect your correct.
When someone is murdered the very first suspect is ALWAYS the spouse...and that says pretty much all there is to say about marriage.
It does drive home the difference in energy transfer of 9MM vs. .223 vs. 12 gauge 00 buck.
Here's some other threads where he's discussed his "tests" and methodologies.

And why are chickens always 'nekkid' in these videos? Shouldn't they be wearing some clothes like in the wild?

Surely you didn't take my comments seriously?
I watched his video where he compares the "penetration" of 9MM vs. .223 vs. 12 gauge 00 buck by standing five pieces of 2x4 up next to each other (not even nailed down) and shoots them........that was kind of pointless. All he proved was that he could knock them over......wait....maybe he didn't even prove that. He missed his first shot with the AR-15 and didn't even realize it. :rotflmao:
I hope not. His videos are slightly entertaining, but as Dan Chamberlain pointed out in one of the threads I referenced, you learn as much or more about energy transfer by shooting steel plats.
I seriously doubt it. He appears to be a one man show with a cell phone video camera and a YouTube channel.
Hmmm.......maybe I could start my own "academy" and teach people how to blow up watermelons with 12 gauge slugs? I have a GoPro and a VEPR-12, that ought to get me enough followers to make me feel important. :jester:
Knowledge is easy and perhaps this guy doesn't even have that but what you really need is Showmanship, dancing bear meets carnival barker type stuff.
Maybe even put a scarf and some pants on those nekked chickens because
You'll be a Youtube guru!

How about nekked chicken on a bungee cord to test the 21 foot rule. Armed nekked chicken with a knife vs. armed citizen.

After that, it'll leave one heckuva splat mark in a Live Oak a dozen feet behind the exterior wall. (Thank god for suitable, though unintentional, backstops).
And indoors, even a small shotgun knocks your ears out of commission upon detonation. And "smokeless"?...forget that. You'll likely not see anything clearly above your belt.
You can learn a lot by your own mistakes that YouTube doesn't cover.
Not that I recommend this as a method of training, but I have fired a shotgun indoors and hope I never do again. But at least I know what to expect. Anything is going to over penetrate if you miss.
That said, if you have to repell boarders, any shotgun is pretty much better than anything else.

Now you are getting my creative juices flowing! How about testing the best ammo for turning Kung Fu Chicken into Kung Pow Chicken? I think maybe a custom 12 gauge load with miniature Ginsu knives and some dragon's breath.......:rotflmao:
