re: #534 Blind Frog Belly White
The M-1, I grant you, is a poor choice for home defense, unless you’re defending your home from Grizzly Bears. But the AR15 is increasingly touted as a great choice for home defense, precisely because (the argument goes)it DOESN’T overpenetrate. Bullets fragment upon hitting a first layer of wallboard and don’t make it through a second. Indeed (the argument continues) the .223 has less of an overpenetration problem than either 00 buckshot or any pistol round.
Mind you, I’m not by any means knowledgeable enough about guns to determine whether the argument is bullshit, but it’s a very, very popular claim. Just google “AR15 Home Defense”.
I’ve heard that. I think it is utter bullshit.
