Whew! I’m glad my rifle’s chambered for 5.56! I’d hate for it to be mistaken for the nasty stuff. After all, it’s NATO approved!

Just another dumbass alleged “journalist” who wouldn’t know a handgun from a howitzer and damn sure doesn’t know that those rounds are specified by the GENEVA CONVENTION. Unless a major structure is hit, these full metal jacket rounds are far more apt to penetrate and pass through, leaving a cleaner, less devastating injury than soft-nose projectiles, giving those wounded by them a far better chance of survival.

My God, WHERE DO THESE ALLEGED NEWSPAPERS GET THESE UNINFORMED AND IGNORANT MORONS? And could those hiring practices explain the growth of the famed Freeper Media Dinosaur Deathwatch List?

About a dozen years ago, I was in the local gun shop buying some deer slugs for hunting season that was coming up in a few weeks.
I walked by a display of military surplus .223AP at $2 per box (of 20). Needless to say, I saw an opportunity for target practice rounds, so I bought $50 worth. They do make good cheap practice rounds. The normal hunding rounds are in the ouder of $25 for a box of 20, so you don’t want to waste too many of those.

The writer is just playing fast and loose with the definition of “armor piercing”. What he isn't saying is the .223 is Kevlar(body armor) piercing rather than metal armor plate piercing. The round pierces Kevlar due to its shape(pointed and fast).

Kevlar will not stop a knife or an arrow from a hunting bow for that matter. The pointed tip spreads the Kevlar fibers out of the way rather than flatten out like a 9mm would. Nakwon probably could have killed at least one cop if he was firing a 150lb crossbow
