Enough Seriousness; Let's Shoot Stuff!

I found The Box o' Truth via Charlie Stross's weblog, and it looks like a valuable resource for anyone who writes or edits books in which things get shot by guns. (Plus, y'know, shooting stuff is cool.) The guy who put up the site (under the name Old_Painless), shoots various kinds of guns and ammo through various kinds of materials to see what happens.

It isn't precisely science fictional, but there's something about the guy's tone and methodology that is very familiar.
