    Since the projectiles are not being captured in tissue simulant on the other side of the wall there is no way to determine the residual damage potential, thus the demonstration does not really reveal much in the way of valuable terminal performance data...

    Truth! I shot 70gr Browntip through a cinderblock, and got full penetration.

    ...it then hit a dry phone-book and literally dented/tore the cover page is all.

    Had the phone-book not served as a witness plate, I would have drawn very different conclusions.
