As a construction worker, I would like to see bullets vs a real exterior wall. Meaning an exterior finnish (siding or stucco), sheathing, and insulation. Its been a peeve of mine for years. I appreciate your videos and how much you think things through

The 308 first shot was not FMJ it was what's called a soft point tip

I'd like to see the intended target hit, then wall, then bystander behind the wall.

The .308 FMJ was actually a soft point and not an FMJ. That soft tip would definitely have expanded in the dummy. No wonder Richard lost his head.

Shooting sabot slugs from a smooth bore is why it was tumbling before the wall

That 308 was not a full meal jacket. It was a jacketed soft point.

I know Paul Harrell RIP did the multiple wall test years ago, but your production value and camerawork would bring ALOT to that idea.<br>Nice work.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_irknLDmc4g&t=1427">23:47</a> Something I never considered with the bird shot is the pellets in the front breaking up the drywall and the pellets from behind not having hardly any resistance

It looks like the .223 "hollow point" watch actually a match bullet that has been proven to not work like an actual hollow point.
