Bullet penetration through house structure, a test.

This pretty much puts a lot of over-penetration wives tales to rest.

I don't think anyone here ever really believed that one.
Maybe or maybe not. I offered up the video more for its entertainment and somewhat educational value.
I hear the claim bullets penetrate an entire neighborhood of houses from people at the gun range or gun stores at least three or four times a year.

But you will only do it once. It's hard to shoot a gun with no hands.

Fun movie.
Yes.
That wasn't assumed otherwise. The purpose of the video, I think, is to show there is a large unlikelihood the bullet will leave the house.

That shot you expect to go through a wall, for instance,
can deflect off a stud, and go through the floor, instead.
