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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
