Poodle shooter doesn’t sound that tough :)

Am I missing something that a gun expert might? :)

Most poodles are French Poodles so they typically surrender before they can be shot so it's kind of hard to determine just how tough they are.

There is a certain school of thought that is skeptical of the inherent lethality of the 5.56 NATO ammo

Proponents of that particular school of thought feel that 5.56 is inadequate for use against anything more dangerous than a healthy poodle, hence the name poodle shooter. Said non proponents delight in pointing out that 5.56 is illegal to use for hunting deer in a number of states. due to a perceived lack of lethality

Having a combination emergency room and ballistic armor experience with 5.56 , I have a more healthy respect for 5.56 than some but lethality is a relative term and in the big scheme of things hearing a guy like TV Joe speak ominously of AR-15 s and 5.56 NATO as if were a doomsday weapon just short of a tactical nuke makes me giggle

On a more positive note, the current media obsession with AR’s is giving the AK -47 a brief respite from being the media's demonic doomsday weapon of choice
