Studs are 16" apart so 9%......I recall years ago during a Tactical operation a 5.56 round was fired and entered a wall running down the length of the interior wall, I can't recall exactly how far it travelled before exiting the wall but I know it was more than 10 feet so about 8-10 2x4 studs were penetrated. I know after that the went to 12 gauge and MP-5 as there primary weapon for a long time.
