Thought experiment:
“If you were going to be shot, in a non-metal part of your body, would rather be drilled by a .223 or .308 sized bullet?”

“would rather be drilled by a .223 or .308 sized bullet?””

At rifle velocities, it doesn’t make a whit of difference.

“If you were going to be shot, in a non-metal part of your body, would rather be drilled by a .223 or .308 sized bullet?”

I explained this on another social forum sight. There are magazine fed hunting rifles out there that are FAR more powerful than the AR-15. They are not categorized as "assualt" or "AK-47 type" or "Military Grade" weapons because of their stock, grip, sites and barrel dressing. But, most body armor won't stop a .308 or 30-06 round. They don't understand weapons.

Further, I explained that often times you can get a Chevy Camaro with different trim, engine and performance options. You can get a V-6 or the 700 hp V-8. Are they the same car? Should one be banned because 700 hp is NOT NEEDED because people can't "race" them? Why not?
