I remember after the Stockton school shooting the AK-47 was billed as the worst and most deadly firearm in existence! To prove their point the anti-gunners had a demonstration of it’s power.The set up watermelons and shot them. The AK rounds poked holes but did not blow the watermelon apart.
They finally shot the melon with a special soft nosed bullet from a different firearm, and the watermelon blew up real well.
So, on the nightly news reports it showed an AK-47 firing, then a cut to the watermelon blowing up, with no mention of a different firearm or cartridge.
Ah, like NBC’s #FakeNews report about defective gas tanks on GM trucks?
If the glove doesn’t fit you have to rig it!
Depends on the type of bullet. Many years ago a lunatic shot up a school playground in Canada. He hit a few dozen kids as I recall. Because he used FMJ rounds there were very few fatalities.
For tactical reasons, military arms are designed to wound rather than kill.
If this killer used a soft nosed or HP bullet the injuries would be much worse. If so, was that just the rounds he happened to get, or did he do it deliberately to kill? Also, where were the shots placed? Gruesome science.
