Is there anyone here that can help me calculate the thickness of steel I
would need to build something like this...
http://www.rangemasterrowdy.com/dueling-tree-steel-targets.htm
But something that could withstand 38 special /40 cal/ and if possible,
5.56 Nato rounds?
I don't know where to look for table that explain steal resistance to
weapons fire.
I do know that I will be angling the targets so they will not be square to
the impact force, which adds another dimension to the calculations that I
don't know how to determine.
Thanks.
(If anyone one is in the NJ area and wants to come and shoot once it's
built, you are more than welcome.)
