Birdshot out of a 3 shell will go through thick sheet metal.
While 4x12 drywall sheets take a few people to set up they create a smooth unbroken surface from floor to ceiling when positioned vertically.
I often fill old tires with dirt and the round will go through the tread through the dirt and out the other side of the tire.
Osb of any thickness is going to much better resist a bullet compared to drywall.
Want to learn more about drywall types and tools.
To hang a 4 x 8 sheet of drywall the cost is around 65 and it s around 100 for a 4 x 12 sheet.
Also two complete wall sections would better record the effects of bullet deformation and tumbling as it passed through each sheet of drywall.

Steel belted tires are no match for 223 rounds either.
Once the wall section was finished i fired various rounds from 15 feet away from the wall.
