Gruesome Death in Our Hands

I'm posting this here because we don't have a Science Fiction Forum.

Expert testifies that a single round from an AR-15 can sever the upper body from the lower body – twitchy.com

Wow so a single round from a AR can severe a human in half  and liquify tissue and they don’t think it’s a good defense weapon. Note I think I bought the wrong AR or using bad ammo

As soon as I see the the phrase "expert" for anything in the news or politics I grab some popcorn because it is usually going to be good for some facepalms.

Sadly this can apply to a lot of things. I've seen some cases where innocent people are convicted because an "expert" testified to it based on junk science. Bite marks for example. We have a low bar in this country for what makes someone an expert.

I want to see the proof of this.

I think that could fall under the category of "Overkill" but that is JMHO !!!

All mine are defective. They won’t even poke a 1/4” hole through a groundhog!

I saw that test done several times with an expert using that Gel to show he different in a 9mm round and a 223 round at a distance of 25 feet and the AR round did more damage but didn't travel much farther into the gel than the 9mm did.

“Delta is ready when you are, The Check is in the mail and AR15s can shoot down a Chinese weather balloon at 40,000 feet. “

Well if a 9mm can shoot a lung completely out of the body, I see no reason a 5.56 can't cut a man in half.

This is the funniest thing I have read in ages! My favorite comment from the twitter link:

"my brother in Christ, that's not an AR-15, that's a B-29 superfortress (common mistake, they're very similar)"
