Not really a problem here most house walls internal and external are brick.
I take is some houses in America are wood built.
Of course all have windows a round could go trough it.
I know that there are areas of the country that have a lot of homes with brick, but once you get into homes built in the later 1900s, cost factors have limited it to almost nothing but boards for average housing. Brick adds thousands of dollars to the price of a home, and most people here prefer interior amenities than brick.

I suspect that you would be surprised at all of the glass that you would find in an american house. glass patio doors, 10 feet long multiwindows, and generally 2 or 3 windows in every corner room.

The north side of my home (back) has only enough glass to admit some light. the south side seriously has more glass than wall,and the windows are 6 feet tall with a ten foot ceiling. If fired a weapon towards any wall in my house, it's almost an even chance i'd hit glass.
