minus-squareArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·7 months agoActually studies show that a proper .223 or 5.56 JHP (or soft, varmint, or frangible) penetrates less through drywall than 00 buck. I mean, yeah, the steel core penetrators will zip right through, but that isn’t on the gun that’s on you not knowing what ammo to use.
