Exactly. What @MTMilitiaman seems to be pretending is that the bullet will have completely fractured after the first wall, and only preceded through the remaining 11 layers because the fragments were close together.
However, anyone who has shot inside a shoot house, or done any of their own dry wall destruction tests knows the bullet isn’t immediately destroyed.
Also, he’s positing an illogical conclusion - sure, if someone is shooting at you, intentionally, standing disposed from the wall will give opportunity for deflection and divergence. But in an over-penetration case, they aren’t shooting intentionally at you through the wall, so you have just as much chance of being struck by a bullet diverging towards you as being saved by a bullet diverging away from your line. Indeed, maybe common sense isn’t so common.
2” or 12’, if there is nothing more than 2 layers of drywall between you and a muzzle firing a 223/5.56, you’re going to have a bad, bad day. Period.
Again, you don't read very well. I will type this very slow, so maybe you can keep up. The Vmax, as demonstrated in testing, will break up as designed within the first few walls, and once this occurs, the fragments will spread, quickly losing velocity and energy. The Vmax will still go through several walls, as I clearly stated, but will penetrate fewer of them that most projectiles. And once the bullet begins to break up, it will quickly lose the ability to penetrate further barriers. It is all relative, because, for probably the hundredth time, drywall sucks at stopping bullets. You should maybe write that down. We will just take this one step at a time. For now, just remember drywall sucks at stopping bullets. That is the first point. We will go from there when that sinks in.
