A guy was demonstrating the differences in power of several WWII rifles and cartridges. He was firing at about 20 feet into a block of what appeared to be modeling clay sitting on a log. The .30-06 bored a baseball-sized hole through it and the block stayed on the log. The M1 Carbine completely blew up the clay block, which flew off the log, and the bullet stayed in the clay. Pretty cool demonstration of transfer of energy compared to over-penetration, and the very reason the .30 Carbine is so ideal as a personal/home defense weapon.
