Downrange Radio talks black rifles.
He touches on ARs as defensive weapons, something I recently wrote an article on which was unfortunately scrapped. Bane recommends low penetration ammo for defensive use like the Hornady TAP.
He said they did some penetration tests using standard 55gr ball ammo on house walls and was surprised at how quickly it destabilized and that it did not “shoot through the house.” I find this a bit surprising, but my wife won’t let me test it on our house.
Murdoc’s pretty sure he’s going to pick up an additional AR here soon. Plus maybe a couple of extra lower receivers.
Go listen to the podcast if you get a chance.
