[Double Tap]

The NATO 69gr. bullet with steel core shot out of short barreled rifles, such as the M4, will over penetrate. This sniper is not using that round from the crime scenes I've seen on TV. Lots of hemorrhaging instantaniously. That does not come from a heavy FMJ, but an expanding bullet. IMHO.

Granted. I also think it has to do with the composition of the bullet. In our military rifles we use the green tip round, made to pierce body armor. Problem is most Islamic terrorists don't have body armor, so the round over-penetrates. I doubt the sniper is using a green tip.
