Is There Anything An AR-15 Can’t Do?

The assault weapons ban hearing is going about as well as you would imagine. Booker asks what the difference is between a semi auto rifle and semi auto handgun. When he gets an answer he doesn't like, he immediately pivots to Dr. Fuddlore pic.twitter.com/3OooAkZYDg

By 500 yards the velocity of a 5.56mm round is about 1400 FPS out of a 20″ barrel (less out of 14.5″ or 16″). The notion that a 55 grain bullet travelling at 1400 FPS could penetrate ballistic plating is so ludicrous that it’s laughable. That’s similar to the muzzle velocity of a 22 LR.
The 5.56mm is great for CQB, but its strong suit doesn’t happen to be ballistic plate penetration at 500 yards.
The woman clearly doesn’t know anything about firearms or ballistics. That’s clearly a gaggle of clowns twirling balls and riding unicycles in circles. It’s just a freak show and circus.
