I haven't seen any info on plaster and slats, but I would suspect that it will offer little more resistance than standard drywall. Have you tried googling the subject? You might try a search on here first and see if it was discussed at an earlier date.

I dont have any technical data supporting this but "lath and plaster" that was used for walls back 50+ yrs ago is typically a cementitious material. Usually consists of a small amount of sand and hardens similar to concrete. I personally think that walls that are built with this product will slow down a bullet much faster than standard drywall. How much? ... no clue.

I did some google searching but did not find much. Last summer we removed a section of wall that was plastered. It sucked to remove comparing to drywall. I fully assume any round fired at the wall will be going right through no problem, but just curious if anyone had done a setup like I have saw with drywall. Might be a good project for one afternoon.

I have plaster walls and I have to drill a pilot hole in order to drive a nail.
I believe that it is much better a slowing down a bullet (I have not shot my walls).
