How many books will it take to stop a 7.62 X 39, or a .357?

Don't know, but I feel a test coming up this weekend to find out :-)

A two inch phone book, at a range of 6”, stopped a .30-06 fired at the binding within four inches. The damaged portion of the book was uncomfortably warm to the touch for a couple of minutes, and the bullet (FMJ) seriesly deformed.

I’m pretty sure the statute of limitations has run out on that test :)

A .308/NATO 7.62mm will go thru about 18" of phone books, IIRC.
