"I always thought high caliber rounds could damage cinderblocks.I've experimented w/materials and calibers (years ago). I discovered that under .22 lr fire, cinderblocks go away in short order. However, brick can withstand .30 cal fire. Cinderblock filled w/concrete can also deal well under .30 cal fire. brick backed by concrete-filled cinderblock can handle .50 cal Do you find this valuable? |

They do have that new balistic drywall like stuff (I'll look up the name)I think it works outdoors as well A couple layers of that and your even explosion resistant, as thats what it is designed to do. Do you find this valuable? |

"Dayum...."Quite right. This "privacy wall" is also a 'fighting' wall meaning I can take shelter in confidence while dealing with certain problem sets. Also, I plan to begin from this point while "Dealing with Crowds, Non-lethal" at least at first. Do you find this valuable? |

"???"There are rebar reinforcements in parts of the wall. I wanted the entire thing to be concrete filled but most of it is. Do you find this valuable? |

"There are rebar reinforcements in parts of the wall. I wanted the entire thing to be concrete filled but most of it is."Well I'm saying this because if you connect each segment to the one next to it it will make it harder to push over. Do you find this valuable? |

"What are you thinking about that is going to push over a 30' long solid wall?"How long it is is meaningless. By putting rebar longways along the wall it'll mean that whoever went after it would be in effect pushing the whole wall because each segment would be supported by the segments on its left and right.

"Im thinking of a 30' wide crowd of solid zombies."Um, I guess the calculation of what a 5'5' high x 30 ft long brick, block and concrete wall firmed grounded with rebar and sealed concrete & block base (3 ft into the surface) actually weighs doesn't fit well against a 'wall' of zombies? My intention is to shoot everything before the threat get TO the wall. Do you find this valuable? |
