Some get used for target practice . . .
[This is my own picture from a Saturday "shoot" with friends a few years ago. Posted it on a shooting forum and since then I've seen it pop up several other places on the Net.]

What is that? A shotgun? 300 yard open sights?

Had a stack of older CF-27s I got for a couple of bux each. Took the roughest ones for range practice. Bullet hole at lower right edge of display is probably 7.62mm from AK-47, and most the rest of the visible holes were 22 rifle, then a shotgun at 10 yards actually ripped off the keyboard and top of the chassis. I pushed the shattered parts back into place for the photo.

Did the 7.62 penetrate?

Yep believe it went clean through the edge of the display. I'll try to find another pic of the top side to verify.

If it was a lot of that older surplus ammo it will go though a lot they sometimes have a steel core making it a minor AP round. The old bolt action 7.62 x 54R rifle I have the first time I shot it went straight through the steel back stop we have. You could see a perfect hole in the plate and around the edge of the hole it still had the jacket of the bullet, lol. Oh yea, the plate was 1/2" think. I have seen some where it will go though 3/4" thick but haven't tried it personally.

27 after a few shots with the AK.

27 after getting all shot up. Dirt streaks are from shotgun at close range. Note the back of the display shows a few 30cal / 7.62 sized holes. I'd think 22 rifle would also penetrate but if you look closely there are a few smaller bumps that don't seem to go through.
