    Actually studies show that a proper .223 or 5.56 JHP (or soft, varmint, or frangible) penetrates less through drywall than 00 buck.

    I mean, yeah, the steel core penetrators will zip right through, but that isn’t on the gun that’s on you not knowing what ammo to use.

      The dude made a distinction between an AR and a regular rifle, implying the bullet travels further if it’s launched from an AR platform. I don’t think they know much about penetration characteristics.
