Had a home invasion in 2011. Met the guy in the kitchen after he climbed through my window. Turned the lights on, pointed my pistol at him, he put his hands up and then jumped back thru the window and ran down the street (took my screen with him). I then called the cops to make a report. Crime stopped without firing a shot and no legal ramifications. Just having a gun means something. 👍
I had a similar situation i heard someone coming in and once I had my gun out he was coming up the stairs to second floor and I came out and was just like turn around and run out and I won't kill you. And he basically did just that
Yeah I have learned the hard way, the reason the operator keeps asking questions is to build a case against you. Also they respond faster if no one is responding on the other end.
Paul Booth they ask questions to figure out what’s going on so the cop can know instead of coming up on a fucking shooting without knowing who’s who and potentially shooting the homeowner since he could have a gun
Putting the phone in speaker and kicking across the room has another benefit. There's a voice speaking and it's not coming from you, adds some confusion for the intruders.
Get to safety first. Making a 911 call is not going to physically stop a person from attacking you. If the assailant has entered the house and you have children yes call 911 first of all before you decide to start moving around. Context is everything.

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
"What the devil?!" Ha! You looked like the belle of the ball when you wore that powdered wig to the prom. The only issue was, 12 people were gasping and choking from the powdered punch. Next time, under-powder, or don't hover over the punch, dancing about like a drunken dingo.
I really appreciate how you always keep your family in mind. Having a wife and daughter myself, its reassuring to hear advice from someone with the same thought process.
Folks thought I was nut's when I told them that I teach my wife how to shoot every firearm I own. If she can't shoot it, I get rid of it or don't buy it at all. Folks don't realize that, you ain't gonna be home all the time.
Penetration is a weird science. Following a British Army test in the 1950's it was discovered that a standard Nato sandbag will stop a 308 (7.62) moving at 2,840 fps at 30 yards yet a 124 grn 9mm moving at 950 fps will pass right through it and kill whoever is sitting behind it. It all comes down to energy dissipation. It is not as simple as everybody thinks.
Good point, I saw a 22 go through a jell block, shot out of a pistol, no expansion, but out of a 10,22 it only went about ten inches, great expansion, so yes it’s hard to tell ,
@@pederpedersson8951 I'd imagine hydrostatic shock in sand might engage some weird property where it becomes more resistant, whereas the 9mm doesn't and passes easily.
Here's the problem with that: now, even with the cleanest of HD shoots, if you end up with a political D.A., you are screwed. An errant D.A. is going to potentially present that as premeditation - as you just looking and waiting for the opportunity to shoot somebody. That $10 sign could cost you hundreds of thousands times more in legal fees and/or future wages - besides advertising that you have guns.
As we've seen there are literal commie judges and DA's who've infiltrated our legal system. The last thing you want to do is to give them an inch. And think about this, jury selection is based on voter registration. I'm not a Democrat but I've been summoned for jury duty. Have I ever actually been SELECTED for jury duty? Not once. They know my political leanings and chose not to select me. Don't expect a bunch of conservatives to sit in on your jury trial if it comes to that. They probably won't be there.
Shawn, I live in Oregon City Oregon and have been a subscriber and fan of yours for about 18 months. I appreciate your no BS approach to helping the general public like me with great common sense information on how protect your family and yourself. After watching this video last night I literally went out today and stood in line for about 2 hours at Northwest Armory in Milwaukee Oregon and walked out with a Sig AR15 and a Sig MPX 2nd Gen MPX 9mm PCC, all based on your guidance. I’ve been married for 28 years and have 3 beautiful kids all worth protecting. Thank you for what you do, the sacrifices you have made for all of us, and your continued support!!
Pistols put holes IN people. Rifles put holes THROUGH people. Shotguns, with the right loads, at the right distances, put meat and organs on the floor. But the best... the very best home defense weapon, is the one in your hand when things go south. Good video.
@@jordanmiller7721 I don't necessarily disagree. But if a person had a pistol close, should they overlook that and spend extra time acquiring their AR? I was simply making the point that a close weapon is likely the best weapon to use in a home invasion scenario. It's a "discussion", why would you name call? That's unnecessary. Be nice, we're all on the same team here.
Kentucky Justice If you miss your first shot with a shot gun or multiple people have a gun then they are going to put rounds on you and you will have to pump your shot gun in a extremely intense situation then put in a follow up round where as with a semi auto rifle you can immediately put on follow up shots on the same target or another target if there are multiple people. With a rifle you can handle most any situation where as if you have to rechamber a shell every shot you will be at a disadvantage if there are multiple people with guns or you don’t hit a fatal shot on the first shot.
@Rockwell Rhodes ooohhh-ahhh your a HUNTER!?? And you were in service too before he was born!! OH MY GOD im wet. Dude any online courses on weaponry you offering? I'll pay big bucks man just to even be able to breathe near a life long hunter like yourself. Wow am i blessed
@Rockwell Rhodes you clearly didn’t make it far in your career with this mindset. quit being a fuckin douchebag not to mention your military service doesn’t even come close to even his CIA time let alone is time in the teams
When I took the Combat Carbine course with my police department (requisite course for being authorized to carry one in the vehicle on duty) , the instructors showed us FBI ballistics tests for several types of rounds through various types of walls in homes. One thing that got my attention was that once a hollow point goes through a gypsum or wooden wall, the "cup" of the hollow point is filled with wall material and then the round acts like ball ammunition from that point on for pistols. It never occurred to me that would happen to hollow-point pistol rounds . The shotgun slug had the deepest penetration of any round in a typical home with interior walls, more than rifle or pistol due to the kinetic energy of the round (KE = 0.5 x mass of projectile x velocity squared). The slug was not the recommended round within a home. I completely agree with your assessment of the pistol being the best home-defense weapon. Even a DA revolver like the S&W Model 66 using .38+P is simple, no safety, just point and shoot. I enjoyed the video Sean. Fair Winds and Following Seas!
After all that. Birdshot. Probably didn’t even cover that in the course, lol. It holds a tight pattern and lacks the mass to penetrate. Just gets slept on. Thank you for your service. Cheers.
It took some convincing to get my department, located in deeeeeep blue NYS, to authorize Patrol Rifles. “Optics”. The “excessive penetration” of the 5.56 nonsense was destroyed immediately by comparing it to the 12 gauge slugs we’ve been carrying for decades. An ounce of lead vs a varmint round? No contest.
Actually a really smart idea to call 911, put it on speaker phone, and kick it across the room while you sort out the situation, they can record the whole thing
@@nelsonr1467 sorry this is about the worst piece of advice I have seen. In an emergency you are not going to have the time or the inclination to put on ear muffs. Also I do not want to impair my hearing if I need to grab my gun. I want to be sure family members can call out to me and I can hear them. Also I absolutely do not like red dots in a self defense situation I think it's TERRIBLE advice. You need to keep it simple and reliable. That's why for my family members I only keep 38 special six shooter. No safety, no red dot, just point and click. For me I like a semi-auto 12 gauge for home defense, but family members don't know how to operate it. A 38 special with no safety like a pencil barrel S&W or a ruger security six is perfect.
They are like putting a muffler on your car, it just makes sense. There are too many uneducated politicians who watch far too many movies to make informed decisions for us. Silencers they are not. Suppressor is a more appropriate term although it still carries an inaccurate connotation. They really just attenuate the noise a bit.

How do I know he has a sense of humor? The eyebrows popping over the sunglasses. I’ve never worked or trained with Sean, but I get the mind set and quiet professionalism.

I’m no tier 1 soldier however was straight 11b for over 10 years and i just stumbled upon this video and as soon as you said the best weapon in home defense is to dial 911 I IMMEDIATELY Subscribed and furthermore to put on speaker, and throw in away from you to keep a line of communication and possibly to conceal your exact position then moving to my primary home defense weapon...well played good sir
As a layman who doesn't know very much about firearms, the first thing I'd think to shop for is a 9mm pistol and a shotgun. I'm guessing my pattern of thought isn't uncommon. Thank you for doing the penetration test, it has really helped me think twice about firearm selection beyond ammo ballistics. I wouldn't think a shotgun would have that kind of penetration either.
I never considered the hands-free speaker phone option. Your voice might naturally wake family members as well. All in all, I really found the video very helpful. Thanks!
Wow he sounds like a normal guy at this speed lol. Great idea honestly. Listening to it at 1.5 99% of people would think it was normal speed if they didn't know and his regular speed was 1.5 slowed haha
The point you missed about the shotgun is the flexibility of the ammo you can put in it. A 12 gauge can take a wide variety of loads from 2 3/4” #8 birdshot to your 3” 00 buck or a slug. Plus, you have a choice of the gauge of the gun that can reduce weight and recoil. It does look like the pistol caliber carbine has advantages as well and is worthy of consideration.
Doesn't mean you don't call them...1st Aid, until Medics arrive...same with Firearms, hold out until Cavalry arrives. 99.99% of the time Your home invaders are not interested in re-enacting "Assault on Precinct 13" inside your property.
If you live in a sheetrock house, make sure you memorize the directions of your family's bedrooms, and have an emergency plan that they understand. Line your kids' room walls with full bookshelves.
As a infantryman in OiF1 the first time I fired my weapon (M-16 A-2) in a house it literally rocked my sense’s it was a totally different kinda of pulsating/vibrating loud eventually you’ll get used to it but I’ll never forget it🇺🇸
It's amazing how the house fills up with that sound, and there is no way to ignore it. I had a guy break into our home when I was 13, I pumped off a round in panic.......Needless to say, Cops weren't happy with me, but bad guy dipped out immediately! My brother was 8, he still to this day has never fired a weapon. Too scared. Lol
Lol when I was 11 I remember accidentally firing my aunts husbands 300 magnum rifle in the house. Ears ring for minutes can’t imagine a 12ga , if that’d be worst than a 300 mag
I love how much emphasis there is on keeping everybody as calm as possible. Always important in any kind of stressful situation. People don't make the best choices when stressed and panicked
At close distances, The shot pattern is really tight. See the first Bob on this test and locate where ALL 15 pellets hit. That's devastating to the intended targeting will absolutely neutralize the target. If you are shooting at 15-20 yds, I'd want a more precise weapon however, especially ion the shotgun is a short barrel.
Tried & tested! For those that may questioning his qualifications, google is your friend! When Sean speaks; I listen. (& lmao! Seriously entertaining, lethally knowledgable + experienced)
I always just call 911 put it on speaker, throw the phone at the suspect, while suspect is distracted with phone flying towards face I shoot through the phone into suspects face killing both the phone and the suspect. Two birds with one stone! - Wisdom
After watching a lot of YT experts say the AR 15 was the best HD weapon, I was glad you rec the PCC. I always felt more comfortable w/ my Ruger PCC for HD. Not enough? Shoot them again and again...BTW, the 0.001% female other than Zena who can handle a 12g is Corrine.
Sean, love how straight forward you are in your videos , they're comical but informative and helpful at the same time, thanks for your service! Liked and subscribed.
Brah ... Get on my level going to be running around naked as a peeled potato with my fat ass. Not only are they going to die, the last thing they are going to see is my gross ass fatbody self. I almost feel bad if that ever happens.
I know this an older video and I don't really expect a response. I am a former LEO, live alone and outside the city limits. I own numerous firearms (4 gun safes). For my night time protection beside my bed I have a 20 gauge "coach gun" loaded with #4 buckshot, no light and a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm with a light. The shotgun will start things rolling and the 9mm with the light is for anything that is not taken care of by the shotgun. Do you think this is a solid set up for my situation? I truly respect your opinion and thank you for your service. My oldest daughter spent a year at FOB ADDER in Iraq. Thank you again for your service young man. And the 36 yard zero for the 5.56 was the video that got me to watching your channel, excellent information.
Shawn, I saw Reid Heinrich’s video similar to this and he used xm193 55 gr with desirable results vs the 62 and heavier rds. Video worth a watch. That said I run the Scorpion set up for my home defense gun with the same round you’re using.
Buckshot Henry saw that too. Also, Karl from Tactical Rifleman tested different .223 rounds and recommended the short range 35-grain frangible ammo from Inceptor. I guess ARs are good to go, just need to have the right ammo.
Two things that make Sean truly respectable is that A. Being a real world badass (fromer SEAL etc.) he know how to use all the 'cool' stuff but tell you straight it's useless in society. Is nightvision and thermal useless? No, but 99.998% of people will NEVER need it! B. He swear a lot, and that's a sign of a down to earth and no-BS dude 😎😉🤘
Thank you for making this information available. Ive seen many of your videos and I've learned alot from them. Mostly how much I dont know, but because of people like you I get to learn more each day. Thank you again brother
Oh snap. This is the kind of video that starts $#!+ *THE* best home defense weapon is the one you're proficient with. Get ammo, get training, blast baddies when the situation deems it necessary. Pistols are hard to shoot Shotguns are big and limited in capacity but hell-a strong. Rifles are LOUD af, and the round has the potential to say "hi" to your neighbors bedroom walls.... Pro's and Con's to each. Pick one. Get good!
The FBI actually switched from PCCs and SMGs to rifles because pistol rounds had a higher tendency to penetrate walls. Rifle rounds tended to disintegrate under such high velocities when hitting an exterior wall from the inside.
Having the "interior walls" pressed flush against the "external wall" kind of makes the whole test of limited value. Having a space between the interior and exterior walls would better display what bullets do in the real world (eg tumble after the first wall, resulting in "keyholing"). Also - the exterior wall should have had insulation.
I see what you're saying but you also have to think that the way they're doing it is the very minimum. I don't fault them. At minimum your bullet if going to go through 2 pieces of drywall on the inside, for 1 wall and then to the exterior. If you really wanted to nit pick, which there isn't a reason, is the fact that there isn't any insulation or wires or materials made weaker or stronger by age, mold or weather. So no real reason to nitpick. The bare minimum is 2 sheets of drywall then to the exterior. But now, if you nitpick, then you have the things in between your domicile and the other potential domicile of the other person. You have other walls that it may go through, if you shoot someone on the far end of the house, less likely to go through more than one wall but say you shoot someone as you're looking up your stairs, then you have different materials. Overall I think they should have just shot up a house to get the most accurate results and yeah, I'm pretty bored. Nitpicking is fun
On top of that, it’s a mannequin and if the “2nd Bob” is hanging outside next to my exterior wall at 3am, then yes. Perhaps they’ll suffer a bit, but this example was ok, just not 100% accurate, yet still informative
@@thunderheads4103 good points, but nitpicking leads to a more accurate discussion. Agreed on shooting up a real house. Would be helpful to see running these through the main construction types - concrete, brick, stucco, etc.
Man this reminds me of classic Shawn Ryan videos before he started the show. Don’t get me wrong I love the show but these videos were how I found him first and have a certain amount of nostalgia to me.
Repeat 5.56 penetration shot didn’t have the liquid/soda strapped on the torso. Thats a pretty big difference. Particularly with a high velocity round that is designed to tumble and fragment when it hits liquid. Not sure why you wouldn’t keep the tests similar. Most tests I have seen consistently show 5.56 penetrates less than 9mm in these types of scenarios. But hey, still enjoyed the vid!
@@ItsEverythingElse Interesting, I've not seen videos saying 9mm will over penetrate more than 5.56, got any additional links? (genuinely curious, not trying to be a troll)
It seemed like this was just a chance for him to give Sig a shoutout lol. The “penetration” test was a complete joke and I hope no one takes it seriously. Sadly many will because he was a SEAL at one point. So he knows everything about guns and ballistics right?
Simon Rodriguez ..... I know it’s 2019 and it’s basically the new “in thing” to be gay, but coming out in a TH-cam video’s comments section is just weird 🤣🤓
I love that you chose the PCC as your choice for home defense. Here in Canada our choices are limited so I recently bought a PCC and I love it. I've seen others laugh at the idea of buying one so it's nice to see someone with knowledge say something positive about it
@@jamesneff1247I’m Canadian I’m a firearm owner and I can surely say we are not allowed to defend ourselves in a home defence situation with a firearm. Wish It wasn’t like that but we’re loosing more daily with bill-C21
It's sad that it's completely illegal for you to use your pcc in a defensive situation, nomatter what that situation may be.... Absolutely disgusting leadership in Canada and the citizens are primarily at blame too since Canadians love giving up their rights. Slowly but surely the same things happening here in America.
Unfortunately you are 100% correct people need to stand up for their rights. As of right now they are trying to ban almost everything in Canada including shotguns and rifles made for sport shooting as well as hunting. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS PEOPLE! Stop this nonsense.
Shawn, great video as always. Surprised to hear your findings & opinion. Pretty much anyone who carries a gun for a living or uses one for self defense wants to minimize collateral damage; why did the SEALs and all LEO agencies switch from the 9mm Mp5 to the AR15 / M4? Thanks!
Because you can get enemy standing more than a meter away, they even use a 45 as a side arm cos 9mm just don't pack the punch, would be sound for home an ccw tho
After doing some tests and drills then weeding through all the shit talking internet advice I have evolved from 223 suppressed into using 300 BLK subsonic suppressed for HD. It will do the job.
300 BLK 'pistol' owner here. Need to get a suppressor. But broke as a joke. Also going to try and use his 36 yard zero targets for best ballastics with supersonics.
Zero one- the 36 yard zero is for the ballistics of a 5.56 shooting at approximately 3,000fps. The blackout is shooting much slower than that, therefore the 36 yard zero will not do the same.
@@jeffreyswoodard Yeah I understand there is some differences, though im betting for the first 25-36 yards is not so drastically different that it will matter all that much. It might mean its a simulated 32 yards or 42 (too dumb to know) but still close enough to get a good trajectory.
@@jeffreyswoodard So yeah looked at some ballistics calculators and if Im reading it properly a true 36 yard zero for my rifle would be .7" bullet drop at 25 yards. So it looks like the same target Shawn made will work as its right about .75" So .... yeah it will work good enough I think.
I actually have several switches in my bedroom that can turn on most of the lights in my house. I also keep my car keys next to me and when I am sure there's someone else in the house, I hit the car alarm and wake up the entire neighborhood. It may not deter an invader but it will draw attention to others
your lead in statement was absolutely brilliant. i say the best home defense weapon is whichever one you might have that you can get to, and know how to operate.
Like the video but it would have been a more consistent test if you used a 55 grain hollow point in the AR instead of the heaviest projectile you could find.
Heavy projectiles are slower so less chance of over penetration. I'd go with a .45acp round for a handgun or Ar15 pistol round if possible, all .45 acp rounds are subsonic.
@@MichaelCook1981 You have things backwards and some +p 185gr .45 ACP rounds are supersonic and there are lighter ones that also are supersonic by a good margin.
You changed my mind last year with your 36 yard zeroing video, and it made perfect sense. You changed my mind with my home defense system. My CZ scorpion I think will fit the bill nicely. Great video.
I was under the impression that standard M193 55gr 5.56mm ammo is actually safest due to high velocity projectile fragmentation. Also, that 9mm did NOT perform as expected, it should have mushroomed and/or leafed off outwards. You could even try 5.56 hollow points which should leaf off like crazy due to the velocity.
Great video man👍 I do want to point out meat is really good at slowing down pellets. From most of the police 12g shootings that I've read on,which there are not many. they dont get a lot of pass through on a center mass hit. I really like #2 brid shot for home defence its way more deadly than people think.

Penetration is a weird science.

Great, now criminals know where to get free guns
Here's the problem with that: now, even with the cleanest of HD shoots, if you end up with a political D.A., you are screwed. An errant D.A. is going to potentially present that as premeditation - as you just looking and waiting for the opportunity to shoot somebody. That $10 sign could cost you hundreds of thousands times more in legal fees and/or future wages - besides advertising that you have guns.

Pistols put holes IN people. Rifles put holes THROUGH people. Shotguns, with the right loads, at the right distances, put meat and organs on the floor. But the best... the very best home defense weapon, is the one in your hand when things go south. Good video.
Kentucky Justice some 9mm rounds penetrate more than 5.56. Shutup fudd. A 10.5 suppressed ar is perfect for home defense
@@jordanmiller7721 I don't necessarily disagree. But if a person had a pistol close, should they overlook that and spend extra time acquiring their AR? I was simply making the point that a close weapon is likely the best weapon to use in a home invasion scenario. It's a "discussion", why would you name call? That's unnecessary. Be nice, we're all on the same team here.

If you miss your first shot with a shot gun or multiple people have a gun then they are going to put rounds on you and you will have to pump your shot gun in a extremely intense situation then put in a follow up round where as with a semi auto rifle you can immediately put on follow up shots on the same target or another target if there are multiple people. With a rifle you can handle most any situation where as if you have to rechamber a shell every shot you will be at a disadvantage if there are multiple people with guns or you don’t hit a fatal shot on the first shot.

When I took the Combat Carbine course with my police department (requisite course for being authorized to carry one in the vehicle on duty) , the instructors showed us FBI ballistics tests for several types of rounds through various types of walls in homes. One thing that got my attention was that once a hollow point goes through a gypsum or wooden wall, the "cup" of the hollow point is filled with wall material and then the round acts like ball ammunition from that point on for pistols. It never occurred to me that would happen to hollow-point pistol rounds . The shotgun slug had the deepest penetration of any round in a typical home with interior walls, more than rifle or pistol due to the kinetic energy of the round (KE = 0.5 x mass of projectile x velocity squared). The slug was not the recommended round within a home. I completely agree with your assessment of the pistol being the best home-defense weapon. Even a DA revolver like the S&W Model 66 using .38+P is simple, no safety, just point and shoot.
I enjoyed the video Sean. Fair Winds and Following Seas!
After all that. Birdshot. Probably didn’t even cover that in the course, lol. It holds a tight pattern and lacks the mass to penetrate. Just gets slept on. Thank you for your service. Cheers.
@@KH-rt3ef Exactly, or buckshot. And the 12 gauge isn't the only size shotgun. Not sure why someone would use a slug anyway.
It took some convincing to get my department, located in deeeeeep blue NYS, to authorize Patrol Rifles. “Optics”.
The “excessive penetration” of the 5.56 nonsense was destroyed immediately by comparing it to the 12 gauge slugs we’ve been carrying for decades. An ounce of lead vs a varmint round? No contest.

@@nelsonr1467 sorry this is about the worst piece of advice I have seen. In an emergency you are not going to have the time or the inclination to put on ear muffs. Also I do not want to impair my hearing if I need to grab my gun. I want to be sure family members can call out to me and I can hear them. Also I absolutely do not like red dots in a self defense situation I think it's TERRIBLE advice. You need to keep it simple and reliable. That's why for my family members I only keep 38 special six shooter. No safety, no red dot, just point and click. For me I like a semi-auto 12 gauge for home defense, but family members don't know how to operate it. A 38 special with no safety like a pencil barrel S&W or a ruger security six is perfect.

They are like putting a muffler on your car, it just makes sense. There are too many uneducated politicians who watch far too many movies to make informed decisions for us. Silencers they are not.

As a layman who doesn't know very much about firearms, the first thing I'd think to shop for is a 9mm pistol and a shotgun. I'm guessing my pattern of thought isn't uncommon.

The point you missed about the shotgun is the flexibility of the ammo you can put in it. A 12 gauge can take a wide variety of loads from 2 3/4” #8 birdshot to your 3” 00 buck or a slug. Plus, you have a choice of the gauge of the gun that can reduce weight and recoil.

Shawn, I saw Reid Heinrich’s video similar to this and he used xm193 55 gr with desirable results vs the 62 and heavier rds. Video worth a watch. That said I run the Scorpion set up for my home defense gun with the same round you’re using.

@@ericvantassell6809 That's a dumb@$$ comment. No one is advocating for the use of .25 as a home defense tool.
The FBI actually switched from PCCs and SMGs to rifles because pistol rounds had a higher tendency to penetrate walls. Rifle rounds tended to disintegrate under such high velocities when hitting an exterior wall from the inside.
Having the "interior walls" pressed flush against the "external wall" kind of makes the whole test of limited value. Having a space between the interior and exterior walls would better display what bullets do in the real world (eg tumble after the first wall, resulting in "keyholing"). Also - the exterior wall should have had insulation.
Or some houses have stucco as well so it would be different results
I see what you're saying but you also have to think that the way they're doing it is the very minimum. I don't fault them. At minimum your bullet if going to go through 2 pieces of drywall on the inside, for 1 wall and then to the exterior.
If you really wanted to nit pick, which there isn't a reason, is the fact that there isn't any insulation or wires or materials made weaker or stronger by age, mold or weather. So no real reason to nitpick. The bare minimum is 2 sheets of drywall then to the exterior. But now, if you nitpick, then you have the things in between your domicile and the other potential domicile of the other person. You have other walls that it may go through, if you shoot someone on the far end of the house, less likely to go through more than one wall but say you shoot someone as you're looking up your stairs, then you have different materials.
Overall I think they should have just shot up a house to get the most accurate results and yeah, I'm pretty bored. Nitpicking is fun
On top of that, it’s a mannequin and if the “2nd Bob” is hanging outside next to my exterior wall at 3am, then yes. Perhaps they’ll suffer a bit, but this example was ok, just not 100% accurate, yet still informative
@@thunderheads4103 good points, but nitpicking leads to a more accurate discussion. Agreed on shooting up a real house. Would be helpful to see running these through the main construction types - concrete, brick, stucco, etc.

Repeat 5.56 penetration shot didn’t have the liquid/soda strapped on the torso. Thats a pretty big difference. Particularly with a high velocity round that is designed to tumble and fragment when it hits liquid. Not sure why you wouldn’t keep the tests similar. Most tests I have seen consistently show 5.56 penetrates less than 9mm in these types of scenarios.
But hey, still enjoyed the vid!
You are correct. And if 9mm fails to expand for whatever reason it is going to vastly over-penetrate compared to the 5.56.
Such science so wow
@@ItsEverythingElse Interesting, I've not seen videos saying 9mm will over penetrate more than 5.56, got any additional links? (genuinely curious, not trying to be a troll)

@@xi-deadshot-ix5838 if you shoot and hit flesh bones ok ...if you miss flesh bones then ...
All I need I’m my life is vigilance elite videos and guns a whole lot of guns
Simon Rodriguez ... Love the passion - but a little Jade Struck thrown in the mix here and there doesn’t go astray 🤪🤓🥴
Well you may be able to survive with a pocket p**sy but I need not just guns and Vigilance Elite videos but also women.
Simon Rodriguez ..... I know it’s 2019 and it’s basically the new “in thing” to be gay, but coming out in a TH-cam video’s comments section is just weird 🤣🤓
Xplicid u are dumb if u think I’m being for real that actually u in your profile picture huh??💀
“And this chair. That’s all I need....” 😂
Pretty sure Bob’s liver was removed on first 556 round
I love that you chose the PCC as your choice for home defense. Here in Canada our choices are limited so I recently bought a PCC and I love it. I've seen others laugh at the idea of buying one so it's nice to see someone with knowledge say something positive about it
What are the gun laws like there, what are yall allowed to have?
@@jamesneff1247I’m Canadian I’m a firearm owner and I can surely say we are not allowed to defend ourselves in a home defence situation with a firearm. Wish It wasn’t like that but we’re loosing more daily with bill-C21
It's sad that it's completely illegal for you to use your pcc in a defensive situation, nomatter what that situation may be.... Absolutely disgusting leadership in Canada and the citizens are primarily at blame too since Canadians love giving up their rights. Slowly but surely the same things happening here in America.
Unfortunately you are 100% correct people need to stand up for their rights. As of right now they are trying to ban almost everything in Canada including shotguns and rifles made for sport shooting as well as hunting. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS PEOPLE! Stop this nonsense.
I love how he said upfront "don't be a hero man!"...
yes, most definitely
Say what you want but the clown made it closer than i thought
Shawn, great video as always. Surprised to hear your findings & opinion. Pretty much anyone who carries a gun for a living or uses one for self defense wants to minimize collateral damage; why did the SEALs and all LEO agencies switch from the 9mm Mp5 to the AR15 / M4? Thanks!
Because you can get enemy standing more than a meter away, they even use a 45 as a side arm cos 9mm just don't pack the punch, would be sound for home an ccw tho
.300 blackout with a suppressor is awesome
After doing some tests and drills then weeding through all the shit talking internet advice I have evolved from 223 suppressed into using 300 BLK subsonic suppressed for HD. It will do the job.
300 BLK 'pistol' owner here. Need to get a suppressor. But broke as a joke. Also going to try and use his 36 yard zero targets for best ballastics with supersonics.
Zero one- the 36 yard zero is for the ballistics of a 5.56 shooting at approximately 3,000fps. The blackout is shooting much slower than that, therefore the 36 yard zero will not do the same.
@@jeffreyswoodard Yeah I understand there is some differences, though im betting for the first 25-36 yards is not so drastically different that it will matter all that much. It might mean its a simulated 32 yards or 42 (too dumb to know) but still close enough to get a good trajectory.
@@jeffreyswoodard So yeah looked at some ballistics calculators and if Im reading it properly a true 36 yard zero for my rifle would be .7" bullet drop at 25 yards. So it looks like the same target Shawn made will work as its right about .75" So .... yeah it will work good enough I think.
This dude is so subtly hilarious every time he talks about anything
I actually have several switches in my bedroom that can turn on most of the lights in my house. I also keep my car keys next to me and when I am sure there's someone else in the house, I hit the car alarm and wake up the entire neighborhood. It may not deter an invader but it will draw attention to others
Nice
Excalibur01 , great strategy!
Unfortunately, Sean Ryan is also smart enough to never run for office...
But if he did, he would have my vote.
I might just write him in this election.
your lead in statement was absolutely brilliant. i say the best home defense weapon is whichever one you might have that you can get to, and know how to operate.
Probably the best gun testing video I’ve seen, very thorough
Like the video but it would have been a more consistent test if you used a 55 grain hollow point in the AR instead of the heaviest projectile you could find.
Heavy projectiles are slower so less chance of over penetration. I'd go with a .45acp round for a handgun or Ar15 pistol round if possible, all .45 acp rounds are subsonic.
@@MichaelCook1981 You have things backwards and some +p 185gr .45 ACP rounds are supersonic and there are lighter ones that also are supersonic by a good margin.
That 00 buck might not be the best for in the home, but to say Bob had a sucking chest wound would be an understatement.
00 all day long.
18:00 “unless your dating Xena, no one would like shooting it” FKIN gold!
You're so practical and to the point. I really appreciate this man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
You changed my mind last year with your 36 yard zeroing video, and it made perfect sense. You changed my mind with my home defense system. My CZ scorpion I think will fit the bill nicely. Great video.
nicoea97 me too
Really glad you advised 911 first instead of telling everyone to play operator and start clearing rooms. Solid advice and it’ll save lives
Masako call 9/11 and then start clearing
I was under the impression that standard M193 55gr 5.56mm ammo is actually safest due to high velocity projectile fragmentation. Also, that 9mm did NOT perform as expected, it should have mushroomed and/or leafed off outwards. You could even try 5.56 hollow points which should leaf off like crazy due to the velocity.
Thank you, and for the shotty I'd use 2 3/4 #4 buck plus shot placement is key regardless. Pcc is still good though.
Stfu don’t know what ur talking about
Liberty Overwatch 223 is what I keep in my AR while at home 👌🏼
Great gun advice Sean!
I would like to see what a trained, and very protective Belgian Malinois would do to Bob also.
my wife: "see babe you can't put a budget on home protection"
me: *grins*
Lucky bastard lol
But honey I need this gold-plated AK.
Great video man👍
I do want to point out meat is really good at slowing down pellets.
From most of the police 12g shootings that I've read on,which there are not many. they dont get a lot of pass through on a center mass hit.
I really like #2 brid shot for home defence its way more deadly than people think.
The production quality here, is ON POINT. YEE-fuggin-HAW
Thank you
