Why not use them as a backstop to an impromptu firing range in your basement!?!?! [Beer]
Or, a tad more seriously, put them inside your walls for sound dampening and over-penetration mitigation purposes. ;) books are actually pretty good bullet stoppers.
NOT TRUE!!! At least not in my on-time experience!Quote:

One and done, all the way through the phone books and into the wall. it was concrete behind the sheetrock but I was amazed it penetrated the phone books and it was LOUD in the basement too.
Seriously, I hear books are good in that regard, but it may take far more to stoup a round than you realize.
What kind of sissy phonebooks were you using?? I took a box that was approximately 8"x8"x16" and stuffed it with phonebooks and cardboard. The first 3 inches was phonebooks, the rest was just a bunch of layers of cardboard. I shot it with a 10/22 from 25 ft away 10 times and none of the 40gr .22LR bullets made it more than 10 inches. Maybe cardboard is more bullet resistant than we give it credit for? [Dunno]
Either way, if the books still have relevant knowledge or wisdom in them, shooting them is the last thing you should do.
YES!Quote:

I buy a torn up used txt book for $70ish, and it was it's last year for that edition. Hate when they update the same textbook to refresh used text book market.
