In 1970, we were on a patrol in Vietnam when we started taking small arms fire from a group of bushes.
We returned fire until nobody fired back.
When we went to check the damage, there were several KIAs and then there was this young (21-24 yo) Vietnamese woman lying on the ground in dire straits. I took the Chinese SKS rifle from her hand and then tried to stop the bleeding from the 3 inch grouping of three 7.62mm rounds (.30 cal.) that had gone in her chest and out her back. We managed to slow the bleeding and got a medivac helicopter to take her to a hospital, where she got patched up and sent to a POW camp a week later.
So, from first hand experience, I know that that someone can survive three AR15 rounds (5.56mm) to the chest if they are very lucky.
