It's not honest to point out the size of the cartridge but not talk about the load behind the slug or muzzle velocity or any other characteristic. Windwalker posted a series of articles about the weapon, the cartridge and why it causes the damage it was designed to do
The 5.56x45 NATO round has been known since the 70s as, "The Tumbling Terror", due to the wounding it created in enemy soldiers during the police action your country was engaging in SE Asia at that time. The bullet is going so fast, and is so light, that as soon as it hits something like a leaf, branch, rib, solid organ, etc, it veers off its trajectory and tumbles around until it runs out of impetus and stops
Steve James wrote:Aw fuck, the point is the damage. Yes, you pointed it out, and I pointed out earlier that you did. But, I think you're deliberately burying the point in the details. If we agree that the round fired is designed to be more damaging then that's it. We can discuss the issue of restrictions on ownership.

The vast majority of guns are designed to shoot people, and those which are not are derived from designs for shooting people, and those which are not can still be used to shoot a target, and a target can become a person, so I'm trying to figure out the context of this. Can you elaborate or give me and example or something?
