The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Purposely firing through a WALL or DOOR -- FMJ or Hollowpoint

Interior doors are seldom solid. If the assailant has chased you in your own home and you are sure it is not a friendly, then ventilate him/her through the door. I would, however, NEVER shoot through my front or other exterior door. To do so would be to invite accusations that you could have just waited for the cops. Even though in Texas we have the Castle Doctrine now I still would wait for the door to cave and then unleash a wall of lead and buckshot.

I think that FMJs would be much better suited for this task if your gonna shoot through solid stuff though.
