Gun question.

Don't shoot much, do ya?

Would you rather be hit by a .22 at 300 yards or a 7.62 NATO?

Sure, both can kill, but what are the odds one will do much more damage than the other?

I shoot about every 2 weeks, rifle, pistol and shotgun. More often if I'm preparing for a hunt. I approach "gun questions" like this one with trepidation when it's posted in the current events forum on JPP (coincidentally right after 2 mass shootings). And we're not talking about firearms here, are we? We're talking about the ammunition. I continue to maintain that NO firearm is "lethal" until it's in the hands of a human being, or maybe a chimp smart enough to get the safety off.

Exactly. Would you rather shoot a deer at 200 yards with a 7.62mm NATO or a .22 long rifle? Which would most likely ensure a quick kill?

So far most of the retards keep repeating "dead is dead". Duh. The question they keep running from is the lethality of different ammunition in different situations.

The result you keep ignoring is that dead is dead.

None of the above...


AR - 15 is short for ArmaLite Rifle - 15.

It was designed by by an American guy called Eugene Stoner around 1957/1958, when he was Chief engineer at the California-based ArmaLite small arms company.

Stoner's original AR-15 was a fuly automatic rifle.

The US Military was impressed with the AR-15 for its accuracy, reliability, light (8 Pounds) weight and remarkably power, among other things..

It fired .233 Remington rounds and could pierce slabs of metal plate at a distance of 500 yards.

Stoner's AR-15 also fired very high-velocity rounds that were supersonic at 500 yards.

The US Army were sold and it placed orders for 1000's of Stoner's AR-15s with the ArmaLite company in the late 1950.

The Army made some minor modifications to the AR-15 and designated it the M-16.

The M-16 was an assault rifle capable of semi-automatic and fully - automatic fire.

So,that is the pedigree of today's AR-15 ("America's favourite rifle).

An AR-15 rifle you buy today is only capable of semi-automatic fire (it cannot fire in a fully-automatic mode).

What makes today's AR-15 so lethal is the supersonic velocity of the rounds it fires that are still travelling at a phenomenal speed at 500 yards.

If a person is hit by a round travelling at this kind of speed, as it passes into their body the round gives off shock - waves that pulverize/macerate/totally destroy the the body tissues and organs , etc it passes through. Basically if you get hit by an AR-15 round you're dead - or you will be pretty soon. The AR-15 is a totally lethal rife. The only context where its use can be "justified" is in combat on a battlefield.

The AR-15 is not fully-automatic, but it is a bone fide assault rife none the less- it is one, f**king deadly piece of kit, dude.

Because you need to stop arguing with people for the sake of arguing lad, and becoming a pest.

Just watch yourself a little more closely, and think about what you are posting, before you post it.

For one, this is not a contest to see who wins arguments. This is a place where we share ideas, and no one has to agree with you, and you don't have to agree with anyone else
to share your opinion. People are questioning your ability to reason and deal with reality. That's all I am sayin'! BE MORE CAREFUL!

Thanks!

The AR-15 is not an automatic weapon. It is semi-automatic.

It makes no difference. Restricting or banning ANY type of gun is unconstitutional.

So you can't answer. Why am I not surprised? All you can do is throw insults. *yawn*

You may be confusing insults with just good old fashioned GOOD ADVICE!

Never carry your feelings on your sleeve. If you ever let people think they hurt your feelings, they can do it at will just to be mean.

I am just trying to help you look after yourself.

I'm really only here to help! But I must be truthful in order to help anyone! AND THE TRUTH SOMETIMES HURTS!

I want you to start helping yourself, BY FIRST BEING HONEST WITH YOURSELF! That is a first step!
