Colonel Tucker, USMC (Ret.), Testifies a single round from an AR-15 can sever the upper body from the lower body

BY Herschel Smith
1 year, 10 months ago

From Twitchy.

” … both the AR-15 and M4 contain barrel rifling to make the round tumble upon impact … “

I’m willing to bet you didn’t know that’s the point of rifling, did you?

And not only that, semiautomatic rifles are more effective than fully automatic ones.  Furthermore, it’s “very difficult to use as a defensive weapon, except as a blunt force instrument.”

It can cut a body in half, the semiautomatic version is more dangerous and effective than a machine gun, and it’s no good for a defensive weapon.

No, it’s not just you.  No one else can make sense of this mish-mash either.

At this point it makes no sense to try to decipher this gobbledygook.  But it does go to show just how badly the USMC has screwed up by promoting men like this, either idiots, or traitors, or both.  The USMC should be ashamed, but probably isn’t.

The last vestige of reliable American defensive forces has been infected, corrupted, and turned into a sham and hollow shell.  How sad.

UPDATE: Here is a rebuttal to the nonsense in the opinion of Tucker.

    The USMC is shot thru, as is the Army: https://theoutlawintrepidreporter.blogspot.com/2023/02/we-are-such-joke.html

    No joke…. Sheesh

    So, let’s get more of these FEDGOV useful idiots out there beating the drum for confiscation. Sales of AR platforms, ammo, and accessories will go through the roof just like when Mr. Obama wanted to disarm us. The Leviathan is becoming more and more desperate as the scales keep falling from the Sheeples’ eyes. Stay tuned. Bleib ubrig.

    I have a friend who is more of a “FUDD” than he will admit. In one breath he swears he will never give up his guns. That is until I ask him what is he prepared to do (think of the conversation in the church in Chicago between Jim Malone [Sean Connery] and Eliot Ness [Kevin Costner] in “The Untouchables”) when they come at zero-dark-thirty to shoot his dog, terrorize his wife, and slam his face to the floor? Oh then it seems he WILL give them up and then get a lawyer and go to court. Too bad, I tell him, because it will be too late for that. I tell him he needs to shoot them in the effing face as they enter and be willing to die a free man, because either way life as you know it will be over, your dog will still be dead, and you and your wife will be physically abused and terrorized. Just me telling him this over the phone scares the crap out of him because he is frightened of the gubmint listening in. I tell him I don’t care “THEY CAN COME AND GET ME!!” any time they feel froggy enough.

    Only by many Patriots standing up to gubmint confiscation goon squads will this type of thing come to a quick stop when it starts.

    ……well……unlike you guys I choose to take his comments seriously…..therefor in the near future will we be able to surrender our semi-autos for the less effective full-auto…? this too me seems like an effective route towards full disarmament of the evil white man…..that we all agree needs to happen….and I for one am willing to make these incremental steps towards a more peaceful society…………..

    And that’s just the .22 Long Rifle round. The 5.56 NATO round causes the entire body to disintegrate like a Phaser on Kill setting.

    in the years of my .gov sponsored tour of southeast asia, I was a participant in the open exchange of projectiles between my guys (‘Misguided Children’),and the other guys (slopes), on several occasions. During these often heated exchanges, I NEVER witnessed anyone’s M16 or similar, decapitating a slope’s head’ or, severing a body in half with one round. Or many, actually. I therefore attest to one of these two facts:
    1) this clown witnessed a miracle
    Or,
    2) he’s full of shit

    I believe it is selection “2”

    This individual here may possibly be a former member of the Corps, but certainly not of my Beloved Corps of years past. And the bracketed “ret.” therefore stands for “retarded”, no matter how many years pay was obviously wasted on him. Turning his back on the Corps disqualifies him from the brotherhood.

    Im pretty sure that Colonel Sanders knew more about the Ar-15 than this butt nugget.

    Well, that’s only slightly worse than what some guys got told in USAF training. Both my Dad and my brother were told if a round from an M-16 hit someone in the finger, the hydrostatic shock would blow their eyeballs out of their head. And then they “qualified” by shooting a few rounds of .22LR with a single-shot conversion.

    As soon as I find a vendor for “blow your lungs out” 9mm I’m going to tack some of that 5.56 onto the order.

    Is this clown even a real person? I’m not in a position to verify his authenticity, but someone with ties to the Corps might be. Asking because this statement feels like an influence op, in other words fake and false. Something cooked up by some black-bag artist someplace.

    Who is this guy? That USMC Colonel has been publishing anti-NRA propaganda since at least early 2017. He also seems to have been deeply embedded within the Deep State since his USMC career.

    Just google “The NRA has entered the province of cowards”

    This “colonel” must have the same information as the Charleston, SC Chief of Police. During a “mass shooting” last May, the CoP said essentially the same thing at a news conference.

    Oh he’s real alright. He was relieved of command for having sexual relations with a subordinate while married.

    Wow, just wow… I’m shocked and very saddened to know that. Someone stole the Marine Corps, because this sure isn’t it.

    How typical of the MSM to grant this worthless waste of oxygen a platform from which to spew his nonsense! They have no shame, neither of them.
