I guarantee that whatever gun did this could probably go through most internal building walls in European homes too. It’s a gun, not a nerf dart.
Of course, unless it came in from outside the building. In which case, brick would probably stop it, yeah. I’d probably know if I read the article, but, ya know how it goes.
But yes on that first part.
*Guys, I get it. I appreciate you all measuring your walls for me, but I get it. We can stop now.
A fair number of internal walls are also thick brick or concrete. In warmer climates it helps keep the building cool from thermal mass, it’s also sturdier for places prone to hurricanes.
Do you have air conditioning? I’m starting to wonder if that’s related to insulation. Or maybe it’s just older. Then again, 120 year old American houses have plaster walls which will also not stop a bullet. Buuuuut European buildings are much older. Or, can be. Probably just built better too.
Air conditioning is very uncommon in my country, because of the climate, so we do not have it. It is insulated quite well, but it probably also helps that there are only two outer walls, while the rest are walls separating apartments. The building is from the early 70’s, so it is not that old.
Walls between apartments are usually 25cm thick brick walls or even concrete in Austria. Worked in the field.
Drywalls are very unusual even inside a flat. Most of the time you have 12cm thick brick walls.
So a bullet going from flat to flat is veeeryyy unlikely.
I’m not from the field - but i’m from Austria ty for your expertise… I was wondering about the bricks comments i have no bricks in Walls and i think the Walls to my Neighbour are thicker then the Walls in my own Apartment… But not sure ofc
I tought it need at least heavyer Military Weapons to shoot trought it from another Apartment 🤷♂️

The interior walls in my European apartment are made of a thick layer of reinforced concrete I find it quite unlikely any bullets will go through…

Internal walls are made of brick as well. At least in northern Europe, they have to be it’s too cold otherwise.
Have you heard of this amazing thing called insulation?
Not in 1910 they hadn’t.
