5.56 can't even penitrate a neck

>>34756803
This thread is shit and you know it.

>inb4 not an argument

>>34756892
That's not an argument

Actually, from that picture, it did, it's in his jaw...

Bullet is barely an inch deep in his neck. This thread is shit.
Plenty of WW2 vets shot with 8mm mauser and survived, this is no different

Probably the fag got lucky and got hit with under loaded/shit round.

>>34757003
Hit from over 9000 range by stray bullet.

>>34757066
most likely lol

>>34757066
this. for any bullet to penetrate that little, its gotta be moving pretty damn slow. It was probably shot in the air across the city

>>34757066
That or went through several thing before hitting him.

>>34756988
if you watch the video you'll see it just got stuck in his neck and he didn't even know it was a bullet that hit him

>>34757267
if the round wen through anything it would have been destabilized and spinning sideways

>>34758717
This

5,56 really is the weakest round

>>34756803
>isis takes over

why rescue them?

>>34756803
>B-but has lower recoil and soldiers can carry more
>b-but muh volume of fire
>b-buh but AR-15 is a marksman rifle
>b-buhbuh but muh carbine

What a joke service rifle

Just judging by the X-ray that looks a lot less like 5.56 and a lot more like 5.45.

>>34756803
>m855
found the problem

>round normally has 1000+ ftlbs of energy
>with properly designed AP ammo can even out penetrate 7.62x51 against armor
>didn't even make it through a dudes neck

So like im no scientologist or anything but im pretty sure that this was a specific weird situational fuckup and not really indicative of the calibers general performance.

JK, my fellow americans, 5,56 confirmed for kafirtier

>>34759298
it was m855, they also show a guy who got hit by 5.56 but at close range and it fucked him up.

Time for some REAL FUCKING NATO.

>>34759297

wtf I love M14 now

>>34759388
Scalise Shot in the hip with some 7.62x39 ball
>shattered hip
>pulverized organs
>critical condition for weeks

Kek

>>34759436
yup, intermediate rounds are no joke

20" and m193 or 5.56 is dog shit is the case.

Wow it's like designed to wound not to kill actually came true

>>34758717
and broken apart. Hell I shot a concrete wall with a mosin, albeit at a severe angle, and the shit disintegrated down to the steel core

>>34756990
Barely an inch deep = right smack in the middle of the neck

>>34759388
but he lived....

>>34760396
556 really was made just to injure.

The memes are true

>>34756803
.223 is shit. Everybody knows .17 HMR is the god caliber.

>>34760396
Millions of men were wounded in WW1 and WW2 but came back alive. 8mm mauser confirmed for shit tier?

>>34756803

puny bullets cannot stop the Big American Neckrolls (BAN)

>>34761263
Well maybe if the Krauts had a decent cartridge, they wouldn't have lost twice.

>>34761308
He's Australian...

>>34761263
yes, it is complete trash

>>34761430

So he has the BAN

seems to work just fine

>>34756803
Ok but taking a bullet to the neck or head area is a sure way towards death.

>>34759041
hurrr bias confirmation doesnt exist look at how im justifying my purchases mom

>implying most wounds/ kills weren't caused by shrapnel from artilllery shells
>implying that an 8mm round wouldn't penetrate right through someone's neck and out the other side from any normal range
>implying anyone who walked a way from a hit from 8mm did so because the cartridge is only as effective as 5.56, and not because of a lack of understand of terminal ballistics in the early 20th Century which led to bullets zipping through bodies and only leaving .30 cal holes.

5.56 fags BTFO, if the round truly was shot from an incredible distance, wouldn't the bullet be pointing downwards in his throat?

>>34761559
>have no idea what how far away the shot was from
>lets say it was from long distance anyway
>penetrated an inch through his neck
>well did you want it to blow his jaw off?!?!
No you fucking faggot, we wanted to at least penetrate a little more than inch and come out the other side

>>34759488
Basically this

All of you faggots running around with 12 inch SBRs can't do shit from anything more than 50 yards

Not if his head was tilted when the bullet hit.

>Stray falling round
>Lol 5.56 BTFO

Nice.

>>34759297
So much of a joke of a service rifle that in fact it is one of the most popular and copied weapons.

>>34767174

The chances of that must be extremely low

>>34756803
5.56 is glorified .22

>>34756803
Yes, yes 5.56 has killed nobody. Completely non-lethal round.

>>34756803
>intermediate round designed to wound
>wounds horribly

im sorry, what are you going on about?

You could have been a Sgt or Ssg that was running military computer networks for several bases. Yet civilian employers don't give a damn unless you have civilian certifications and college.

You can be a signal officer with a art history degree. That knows diddly squat about computers. Someone will want to hire you to be a manager in something IT/Comms.

>>34764601
>have no idea what how far away the shot was from

Given the lack of penetration we know it was from a significant distance.

>>34769370
Either that or 5.56 just sucks

>>34769414
Pretending to be retarded isn't helping you.

>>34769461
You're right, he might have been wearing 4 layers of denim around his neck.

>>34769898
Doubling down isn't helping you.
