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
Likely losing most of the penetration, so aim for the boiler room or the head, 55gr will still rip shit apart though. The golden ticket for lethality on unarmored targets is the barnes tsx, and apparently the hornady 75gr tap t2, the tap has worse effectivness through barriers though. 77smk has been stacking bodies like a mother fucker overseas. Look up ballistic testing of whatever you bought, and then look at other 5.56 and compare them, varmint isn't ideal but you can blast a hole through concrete with a .22 if you hammer the same spot enough
