why? are you planning on killing someone? well any ways ive used 1/2 in steelies in my marble gun and it went cleen through a solid wood door. so they are good but be sure that you have some thing behind the target so it wont keep going.

"why? are you planning on killing someone? well any ways ive used 1/2 in steelies in my marble gun and it went cleen through a solid wood door. so they are good but be sure that you have some thing behind the target so it wont keep going."

youre not gonna go through that thick of wood . you may dent it but you won't go through it. and if you did the ball wouldn't keep going
