I’m a moron when it comes to ballistics so can someone explain (without big words - I’m a dumb dumb) how the Glock wielding dude nearly had his arm taken off by what I presume was a 5.56 AR-15 while the guy that got shot in the head had a small entry wound?
Did the guy who got shot in the head get grazed? Also my stupid understanding of 5.55 was that since it is so high velocity it usually gots straight through and doesn’t tumble like 7.62x39
What a learning odyssey you have in front of you friend!
So, the 5.56 is a really neat round that does a few things on different loadings and different velocities. It can fragment and yaw and do horrible, horrible things to the bags of bones wrapped in fluid, fat and chinese made clothing that people are.
I could talk for hours on this and get very drunk but I am at work so I cannot. My advice is to go to AR15.com and read their ammo FAQs and read every damn thing you can everywhere.
Remember, as an armed citizen you don't need to limit yourself to full metal jacket, I rock soft points in my go to AR.
