Is there any place within an hour of Greensboro to shoot a test wall section?
I have watched many videos of shooting "ballistic barriers" and sand filled walls seem to perform very well.
One issue is weight; so limiting the amount of sand needed (wall thickness) to stop both 5.56 NATO and 7.62x51 NATO (308 Win) is my goal.
This sketch is my idea. From what I have seen, 3.5" of sand with plywood on both sides should do the job up to 7.62x39 (AK). So this test with 3" thickness may save some weight.
