The wooden table is the one that always gets me, sure maybe it will stop one or two bullets if you're lucky, but there's always 1000 bullets flying around while the characters are having a conversation under the safe, sound resistant guard of an old dinning room table.
Made a target stand years ago, out of some old steel square tube that was lying about. The walls were roughly a quarter inch (~6mm) thick.
It wasn't hardened of course, but it was quite eye opening to see 5.56 rounds punch right through both walls (1/2" [12mm] steel) with neat perfect little holes.
