In normal countries inter-flat walls are thick enough to easily stop a bullet.
I am like 99% sure you are wrong but I'll eat my words if you can show me a country's building codes that say concrete/brick/whatever is required between homes with shared walls.
I think every country has both.
I believe that in my country shared walls need to be at least REI60 rated (DIN EN 13501-2). REI60 means the load bearing, integrity and thermal resistance hold up for at least 60 minutes during a fire. This almost always means brick walls. I think even if your house is within x amount of meters from another house it also needs to be REI60.
It may almost always mean brick walls but all of that can be accomplished with wood framing as well.
