5.56 ammo and house walls question.

Here is a 62 grain TSX after being fired into slate rock (sorta soft rock)...it penetrated about 8 inches...Redneck hard barrier testing ...done safely though, from behind a tree.

Retained weight was 43 grains...Pretty much identical to what they looked like fired through car windshields...but I don't have pics of those.

My wife won't go for the evil rifle by the bed either.

Hopefully it won't take a tragic incident to change her mind.

Er, uh, um. . .Excuse my ignorance here, but what is TOS?

I would like to know also. I think it stands for THE OTHER SITE. But I'm not sure.

I think it's a reference to AR15.com

Yes. That is correct. AR15.com "for the Win"

Guess I am going to ditch the Glock 22 in the quick safe and pull out the old AR for home defense...not likey as I don't want ot have to go room with a few of the other guys on here who tried that. My wife won't go for the evil rifle by the bed either. Really good info. Thank you very much for the chart.

When my wife gave me shit for switching from a 12ga. to an 5.56 AR(the 870 doesnt look mean ) I sat her down and explained the criminal,civil,moral ramifications of a errant projectile exiting our home and striking an innocent she changed her tune.

Now if I could only come up with a rational reason to get another car(i'm on notice one more and its over) .I only have 4 non daily drivers .
