    | But in “looking at a CT scan of one of the mass-shooting victims” from the high school, Sher saw something very different: “The organ looked like an overripe melon smashed by a sledgehammer,” with extensive bleeding.
 
 That’s because the AR-15 is “different,” its bullets traveling “at a higher velocity” and “imparting more than three times the energy” of a typical handgun projectile. Think of it like this: “The bullet from an AR-15 passes through the body like a cigarette boat, traveling at maximum speed through a tiny canal.”

    | I hate this flippin' batch of bull-patties. So 5.56mm. rounds do gnarled damage than handgun bulkets.
 So would a .30-30.
 So would a .30-'06.
 So would .270,  7mm, 300 Winmag, ,  .308,  .45-70.
 OR JUST ABOUT EVERY CENTERFIRE RIFLE CALIBER THERE IS!!
 
 5.56 is a rifle caliber.  It is NOT even a remarkably powerful RIFLE CALIBER.
 I'm not dissing it....I own four M4orgeries myself.    But my .30-'06  packs a harder punch,  as does my 7.62x51.
