My father-in-law and his brother once dedcided it would be a neat idea to shhot a .22 rimfire rifle at a target they drew on the garage wall. (adult beverages were involved) The bullet went thru the wood lap siding garage wall then thru both the inside and outside wall of the house and stopped when it hit the refridgerator.
I would never count on a residential wall slowing a bullet down enough to not be dangerous. Use common sense and be careful.
