And this is why I use the speer gold dot 62g bonded soft point. It's a great hunting and self defense round for the AR platform. No good against level IV body armor but most things that go bump in the night aren't wearing it anyway. And they are still going to feel the impact which could give you more time for that follow up shot to a unprotected area like head, neck or groin area.
You’re a rockstar, Reid. Thanks for always keeping it real when it comes to this type of myth dispelling and real world application. Happy new year brother, Semper Fi!
I admit my mistakes and I will.say I had a negligent discharge in my house with a 357. The round was and is still visible in the 6×8 timber. Not much penetration. However I wish I had taken a picture of the cylender gap wound to my finger and hand. There was penetration there.
@@justsendit8082 well it is a great opportunity to be honest and It makes things very clear about "not being able to call that round back" no do overs. And I guess I was trying to point out that things happen that you never want to think about and pro b only wouldn't want to admit. And still as I was assuming a mechanical malfunction was more likely to be the issue other then my inexperience with that revolver, I had the muzzle in the safest position. First rule right and then some where down there us don't cradle the cylender as if you were handling an auto loader. ... sooooo training with experienced handlers is a great idea . And best thought of and applied before the big bang follows by the oh s#$t. Thank you Mr Henrichs for providing this confessional for me. Stay sharp fokks
2nd comment, our go to round is a 62 gr bonded bullet. Serves multiple roles,midsized game,small game ,predators ,2&4 legged& tight ass bench groups 😁👍
To those watching this video and then thinking it validates their choice of 7.62 x 39 for ‘home defense’... you may have missed the entire point of this video!
Shot a 556 (Hornady HP don't recall the weight) through two interior walls one of which was a wet wall with fiberglass shower over the sheet rock and a cheep hollow wood door before it stopped in the asbestos siding. There aren't generally going to be cinder blocks in interior partitions or exterior walls in most residential construction in this area. So I'm weary of using an AR around the house or neighborhood. The house was one that was going to be torn down in an isolated location btw.
Another great scenario shooting. Helpful in many ways. Just in case you need to leave the home in the same incident, the AR with a light is a good choice for anytime of day. Shoulder to shoulder, We Stand Together. Thanks Reid.
Shoot a medium weight soft point or bonded bullet. 55gr fmj also does surprisingly well. Unless you have penetration needs, don't use monolithic bullets.
I’m a M1A guy and that’s what I train and use as my dmr but I have a AR in the house for cqb indoor and close range. Much more friendly for the wife to use as well

Could you use a frag round? Also I would like to thank you for the book recommendation "Unintended Consequences" ! What a great book it is too! If you haven't read it you really should, it's long but well worth the read!
I was considering a smaller 556 round. Possibly a 40 grain varmint load of some sort may penetrate less. Just my thoughts. I may create Reid’s scenario at the range to see the results.

Reid, if constitutional carry becomes the norm, do you think states will expunge the records of those previously arrested for “unlawfully” concealing a firearm?
I would love to see a test involving the exterior glass like a sliding door. I live in a concrete block home. The only way anything will exit is if it hits the glass. Will the glass fragment the bullets sufficiently to make it less than lethal? No need to test the AK on that. LOL
Is it worth mentioning when masonry is stacked and bonded it will not fragment as easily as a single piece? Or it may create a hole in a specific area? I wish my house was cinder blocks on the exterior walls, it would ease my mind if i ever absolutely had to discharge a firearm inside my home. Knowing my chances of a stray are less likely to impact a surrounding structure.
Right on brother, I'm a 35 year builder ,45 year shooter,definitely not an expert.That being said,in most instances, you would be facing the 1.5" profile of a 2×4 stud,not the thinner3.5" profile. Probably doesn't mean much,just a thought 👍
Turn the stud a quarter turn to more accurately reflect how a stud is positioned inside a wall. Either way, as we know, the chances of hitting the stud are slim.
The stucco is on another surface usually block so you will get the results shown here plus maybe a bit more. I say maybe because stucco blows out easy even when drilling through it so not expecting it do be much of a bullet barrier.
What is that forward cantalever light mount for the a2 hand guard? I bought one once years ago and I can't find the old email. I need to recommend it to someone
If they are wearing soft armor. Shooting them with Any 556 is going to go straight through the vest. If they're wearing hard armor. Shooting them with 556 is not going to matter. Use a better projecte than m193. And if they are wearing hard armor aim for the pelvic girdle

@@charliefoxtrot5001 He certainly did. It wasn't a self defense video, but a home defense video. The reason was lack of penetration through building material.
So, for someone living in an RV in a Northern climate and constantly battling interior condensation, what are the best ways to keep rust off of my firearms if they are sitting on gun racks, mounted to the wall? I have no kids with me, so having them out and at the ready, just in case, is preferred. I do use propane for heat and that also throws extra moisture into the air. Is there a particular kind of oil I should wipe them down with or some other way?
No drywall can stop 12 gauge depending on depending on distance and angle don’t ask me how I know just know that I have a little bit of first hand experience with this
This has been known for over 20 years. Ballistic experts with Ph.Ds in physics, literal rocket scientists employed by numerous agencies who test ammo for a living in labs, in real structures, and over a wide variety of conditions with the same repeatable results have written entire books about this stuff. I have tried to simplify it and condense a lengthy topic into an easy to watch video.
Soft tip ammo as opposed to what? M193? M855? Mk262 Mod 1? Reid is shooting bonded soft point ammo in this video, which is recommended for a number of reasons.
The 5.56/.223 was designed to be an anti-personnel round, not an anti-material round so that makes sense. However it will zip right on through soft barriers. If I have to pull out the AR then things have gone really bad with multiple military gear criminal threats. For most common criminal threats a shotgun with #4 turkey load is plenty or secondary FBI protocol frangible pistol loads. If I miss the target under stress those shells/rounds penetrate less while still being able to stop close range in the house distance threats. There is no magic bullet that will not over penetrate barriers. All we can do is use ammo that penetrates barriers less while still being able to stop threats. This is not needed where bystanders are not a concern.
What if it's a person and not a turkey breaking in your house? What if the person breaking in has an ar or a shotgun w 00 buck and you have turkey loads and they are mentally not there? I say it would be a bad day for you and your family.
@@rbm6184 yes, I am for real. I'm not saying turkey loads won't do damage, but what if the fight goes outside or to an area where the distance between you and him is not very close? He's gonna be hitting you with very deadly rounds while you are basically just hurting him (which may not even bother him if he is mentally ill or methed out). He may also take cover behind a wall or something which will seriously dampen the ability of turkey shot. It's yours and your loved ones lives, do as you see fit...I just don't think it's a good choice against someone potentially armed with something that will end you very quickly while you are only doing damage to their flesh.
@@JoshBenware First, have you ever seen what birdshot can do to a human body at close range? Yes birdshot kills at close range. Second, don't you think I also have buckshot if I need it? Lastly, you are responsible for every round/shell that leaves your gun. You can use your ammo wisely so that there is less collateral damage or less chance of hitting bystanders.
@@rbm6184 I know a guy who's house was broken into. He was shot from across the room with birdshot. He was able to then empty 2 mags into the home invader after being shot by him with birdshot from 10 ft. He was shot in the stomach. It didn't do a lot of damage. You do whatever you want, but reality is different than what you believe.
Any cartridge that is capable of producing viable penetration on a human target is going to blow through interior (and most exterior) walls of modern construction.
You need to remember, if you're shooting through a wall and hit a 2x4 you're going to hit it on its edge. So instead of having to penetrate 1.5 inches of wood, you'd have to penetrate 3.5 inches. Not that it would change much but it would be more accurate.
@@timrobinson6573 That's true, but even then unless it hit at a 90 degree angle to the stud it would still be penetrating more than 1.5 inches traveling through it on that angle, which would also probably start it tumbling.
I've seen both this video and the one on the 7.62X39, but wanted to ask... How about an average/standard 55gr 5.56 from an AR "pistol" (*10.5"), shooting through your average home window, as if someone was attempting to steal your vehicle? What are your thoughts on deflection and energy after the round goes through the window enroute to its intended target? (*By the way, great vids, man. Thanks for the education. 👍)
You're going to prison unless you live in Texas and even then might still go to prison. The "protection of life and property act" laws really don't allow you to protect property when it should. Having insurance isn't an excuse to sit by and allow criminals to have their way with property that took you years of your life to acquire. Trainers and laws need to get off the PC no property is worth a life bs.

@@JustSumGuy01 yup, that's why I said they will feel the impact. Energy has to go somewhere and that's going to be the chest as a hard impact.

If they are wearing soft armor. Shooting them with Any 556 is going to go straight through the vest.
If they're wearing hard armor. Shooting them with 556 is not going to matter.

You need to remember, if you're shooting through a wall and hit a 2x4 you're going to hit it on its edge. So instead of having to penetrate 1.5 inches of wood, you'd have to penetrate 3.5 inches. Not that it would change much but it would be more accurate.
That's one possibility. The other is that you hit the wall at an angle then you would be penetrating through the 1.5 inches.
@@timrobinson6573 That's true, but even then unless it hit at a 90 degree angle to the stud it would still be penetrating more than 1.5 inches traveling through it on that angle, which would also probably start it tumbling.

Keepin' it real.
