I know my 7.62 hollow-point steel rod communist ammo will go through at least 8 inch cinderblock walls, ammo cans, and 2X4s no problem. I had one go through a tree that was nearly two feet in diameter, though I am no expert on tree health
Is 7.62x39 steel core still legal for sale in the US? I know that steel core ammo can not be sold for any cartridge that is used in a handgun. That's why .223 steel core is so hard to come by, there are .223 handguns. I don't know the status on 7.62x39 or 51-there are certanly handguns available in these cartridges (TC Contender and Encore??).
ANY centerfire rifle round will penetrate walls, soft protective vests, etc., and most hunting rounds (like 30-06) are far more powerful than rounds like 5.56 or 7.62X39. And not all of us live in cities where it would be such a worry anyways...
Right. If you live in a farm and don't have kids or guests in other rooms, I'd say that AR-15 is a wonderful weapon for home defence. M-60 is even better.
Put 6 pieces of half inch plywood a foot a part from each other and fire a .223 round. It will go clean through all of them and keep going. And remember that plywood is harder than sheetrock.
You must have very small rooms in your home or very close neighbors...

It's been banned from import. You can legally buy the components and make your own for rifle rounds.

I'm just saying you should test first, and not just believe some NRA publication, or you might regret your laziness for the rest of your life.
Again, it was the FBI testing this.
But use your own tests of shooting through plywood placed close together if it makes you feel better....
Again,if such calibers are so dangerous in urban environments,why do LE agencies regularly issue them to its officers???
