And for fact checking, I just put a 3" x \#9 wood screw 1-1/4" (buried the threads only) and hung from it using my hammer and bouncing and I'm 190lbs with my tool belt and screw gun on me.
You could easily hang several thousand pounds with a bunch of 6" screws!
P.S. I just did it again with only an inch into a new piece of framing (and therefore soft compared to 'old' wood) and it didn't budge.
