"Barrier Values" of Common Items

[Slappy]

Great thoughts here.

One potential addition is that for complex items, you may need to roll for the value. Sometimes for a couch you hit fabric, which has no stopping power. Sometimes, you hit the 100 year old solid wood frame which would help a bit. Maybe 50/50 for the value.

I guess my house, with largely sheetrock interior walls, would just be so much fodder...

I carried my Browning auto loader with Number four buck shot rather than double 0, it also was chambered for three inch instead of two and three-quarter.
I twice had a perp-(bad guy) shoot at me then "hide" behind a normal 2x4 wall, the result was nasty after one round from the twelve.
I fired at about eighteen inches above the floor and a foot from the door way. The two separate incidents did not result in fatalities but did require immediate and serious medical attention.
The first individual was standing in a slight crouch, both legs were badly damaged. The second had dropped to one knee and faired much worse.
