I’m sorry but a .45 handgun round will stop the bad guy (within short ranges) better than a fast moving .223 any day of the week. .................................. Yrs ago I handled a case involving a shooting at a White Castle in Queens NY. The perp shot the victim 5x with a 1911 while the victim was waiting for his order. The victim lived!
They were very lucky!
Bad guy in your example must have been a piss-poor shot.
