Not sure where to post that.
I have a question related to home defense, I want to know how a wall made of CMUs (cinder blocks) would react to one or two shots of 00 buckshot fired from inside a house (so just a few feet away).
If I have to shoot someone from across my living room and that the wall behind my attacker is made of CMUs, would some of the shots go through the wall?
I have seen shooting tests made on concrete blocks at the range, a blast of 00 buckshot exploded the block.But it was a single block, not a whole wall.
Im not a mason so I dont know if there is a difference between the two, but I would think that a wall would be much stronger than one single CMU alone, especially with reinforcement bars behind and the weight of the other blocks on top and such.
Any mason and firearms expert around?
