VH>DB>        I have used the plastic cases for years, the best back stop I
VH>DB>        have found is to hang an old towel from a rod -- stops the
VH>DB>        plastic bullets just fine and with no mess.
VH>I used these years ago -- at the time, there were three of us Infantry
VH>lieutenants sharing a house.  One of my room mates was not my favorite
VH>guy.  I wondered what would happen if I shot him in the butt, and the
VH>other room mate suggested a test shot at a plasticized room divider.
VH>He looked at the hole in the divider and said "Well, ol' #$%#head's sure
VH>lucky we tested this thing first."
        ROTFLMAO!!!!
        That can happen with a solidly fixed backstop, but if a towel is
        only suspended from the top it just flops arround and absorbs
        the impact just fine.
        Most soft backstops are not penetrated by the plastic bullets so
        it might have made a difference depending on how big and soft
        the butt was.
