Arriving
I arrived at LMW's place in the early afternoon and after handshakes we quickly loaded up his ATV's trailer with water, melons, firearms and ammo.
Now, I had never been to the "auxiliary" range before (my name for it, not his) and to get there he told me I would ride my own ATV!
Now, I have never driven an ATV before and knew how hilly LMV's land is, so I figured after his quick instructions that I was a master and needed to drive the thing one handed while filming an action shot:

Um... Yeah... LMW's suggested that I not do that again.
Testing Method
First a welcome from LMW himself:

The calibers we planned to test were:
Pistol: .38, 9mm, .45
Rifle: .22lr, .223, 7.62x39, 7.62x51
Shotgun: 12 Gauge
The testing was going to be done in two parts: Drywall & Water. First to go were the handguns.
Handguns vs. Drywall
.38 Special
The .38 test was done in five parts (later videos were done with less cuts for timing reasons). We will let the videos do the talking:
