Ballistics researchers give vivid demonstration of how AR-15 bullets tear human flesh apart

A segment on CNN this Thursday featured experts demonstrating the power of semi-automatic weapons, specifically focusing on the AR-15, which has been the weapon of choice for many mass shooters in the United States over the past several years.
The Los Angeles Police Police (sic) Department pointed out to CNN that bullets fired from an AR-15 are powerful enough to pierce soft body armor.
Then, footage was shown from a ballistic lab where bullets were fired into a gelatin substance meant to mimic human flesh. When a handgun was fired at the substance, it created a single cavity through the substance and the bullet exited from the other side. A bullet fired from an assault rifle broke apart inside the substance and the damage was much more explosive.
“It basically goes inside the body and creates an explosion inside the body,” Wayne University ballistics expert Cynthia Bir said.
In another revelation, the following special reports are scheduled for CNN in the coming days. (1) How CNN just now learned about the science of ballistics, (2) How any rifle round can penetration soft body armor, with a battery of tests and suite of analyses to prove it, (3) How CNN just now found out about ballistics gel, (4) How any rifle round exceeding about 2200 FPS at impact will cause hydrostatic shock and cavitation inside ballistics gel, (5) A side-by-side ballistics gel comparison between .270 Win PSP ammo and .300 Win Mag PSP ammo, (6) What a feral hog looks like after being shot by .30-06 PSP at 30 yards.
No … not really.
How do these people accept their paychecks with a straight face and without a guilty conscience?

Maybe try the same test with a 22-250, or a 243 Winchester? Both rounds are capable of 3,700 fps. And I’m pretty sure they’ll do every bit as much damage as the 5.56.
I’m really tired of “experts.”

Captain: they have no guilt or conscience, they are communists. The 5.56 round performs exactly as it was designed to do. I wonder if these idiots have any idea who Eugene Stoner was and what an incredibly talented inventor he was.

In order to see humor or irony or absurdity in any situation, one must have a sense of humor and a modicum of intelligence in the first place, and these true believers have neither. And in order to feel guilt, one must have a conscience in the first place, and these communist fanatics have proven they don’t possess that particular quality.

They could have just shown the Daniel Shaver video. How ’bout the Lavoy Finicum one?
Oh sorry, my bad, wrong narrative.

What was it Clint Smith said? “Pistols make holes in people. Rifles make holes through people. Shotguns remove body parts.”
What would these people thing about a 12ga at across the room range?
