This was tested with a Henry Lever Action Rifle and a S&W M&P 22. The purpose of the test was that there are some people do use a 22 long rifle for home defense. If they missed their target and hit the drywall in their home. Posted on 09/13/2016 6:16:51 AM PDT by w1n1

The video was demonstrated by 22Plinkster and discovered most of the .22 rounds went through 9 drywall and some into the tenth drywall, its very impressive for a 22 round. See the test here.
I didn’t know that Chinese owner’s manual translators were firearms enthusiasts!
Lots of variables to consider.
Moisture content
Thickness
Grade of filler.. fireproof drywall, waterproof, ....
Spacing between sheets
Age.. as drywall gets hard and brittle as it ages
........
They should use better insulation...............
Can you please repost in English?
I think I have heard that more people are killed by .22’s than any other caliber. But that could be dated.
So many with 9mm and .45ACP for concealed carry. Have 2-shot .22 Magnum derringer which you will never know is pointed at you until fired. Pity the poor fool....
Thank you for this!!
How much old plaster?/jk I have a house with some bullet holes in it. I know a medium grade linoleum with masonite underneath will absorb .38, but I’m not sure what went into (and through) the old walls. Sure made a big mess.
That’s a very convincing demonstration of why body-armor plates are not made of gypsum.
Lots of variables to consider.
“Moisture content, Thickness, Grade of filler, fireproof drywall, waterproof, Spacing between sheets (wall thickness), Age, (drywall gets hard and brittle as it ages)”.......... etc.
You left off one important factor, the cartridge size meaning a .22 short, .22 long, .22 long rifle, etc. There are numerous brands and size of powder charges. Lots of stuff to consider, yes!
Interesting. I have some fresh drywall and will test it next time we go out. I am very surprised that a 22LR can go through so many layers. Sounds like an excellent project for my twin 8 year olds and their Ruger 10/22 assault rifles.
Please press one, ,
Angle too.
90* on is nothing like 45* or an even shallower angle.
The Chinese will probably see this and get the idea to make budget hard plates with sheet rock between two pieces of sheet metal.
The real question is...
How much cranial-bone is required to stop a 0.22LR fired from a handgun?
We are in perilous times.
I wanted to get a 22 when I was ten years old, my father said no. He ok’d a shotgun though due to the range of bullet travel.
I remember the pre 1964 days when the 5 & Dime and Woolworth’s stores sold all the old military rifles. They were $3 or $5 depending upon caliber and condition. They were all just stuck in trash cans by the checkout counter.
Could I ask what kind of derringer? Dependable?
not sure but a gas powered bb gun can go through 1/8 pine and damage what was inside the crate- I got the spanking to prove it
Ask Robert Kennedy. Evidently he didn’t have enough.
