Attention! There has been an influx of scammer signups!

The method of operation is to private message you and tell you that you should contact such 'n such person at a given email address.

Please report the private messages. Staff will ban the offender, and I will implement an IP ban. Unfortunately these scammers are using VPN/proxy services, which may mean your VPN/proxy may be blocked.
Attention! About VPN's and foreign IP addresses.

When signing up, do so from a US based Internet Service Provider. Turn off any VPN/safe-browsing feature. Failure to do so will result with your new account denied.

If you run into a IP ban afterwards as a member, again - turn off your VPN or switch servers. We do not ban legit Internet Service Providers from the USA(exception for certain individual IP addresses). Free VPN's tend to get banned too. We try not to ban legit subscription VPN services, but they rarely label their IP blocks correctly.

If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.

Barrier Penetration .45 ACP FMJ.

I watched a video of a randomn guy shooting books and the 9x19mm and .40 S&W went through the books, whereas the .45 ACP didn't. I have no idea which brands/loads he was using for each round, but it made me want to test this myself. I'm not going to use books though, that's silly. We all know that surface area and sectional density play factors in how well a round penetrates barriers. I'm just wondering if a good quality .45 ACP 230 gr FMJ would perform so poorly? I have all 3 calibers. Let me see what I can do about putting a YouTube video together. I'll most likely use some 2x4s tapped together. Give me a few days.
