(152 posts)I have used a hunting rifle with the same caliber as an AR15
I have shot deer with this gun.
I have NEVER recovered a bullet fragment from anything that i have hit
just a small hole going in, and nothing but jelly inside the rib cage
no heart no lungs no other organs just jelly
the bullet fragments upon impact and destroys everything
nothing hit in a vital spot with this gun can survive ----NOTHING--!
And that was with only ONE SHOT not dozens.
I never have belonged to the NRA, I never will, I own guns now,
I use nothing but black powder or .22 handguns, for target only
I no longer hunt, even though I own 300 wooded acres in PA.
I regret having hunted in the past, and killing beautiful animals for sport.
I have a distinction between food animals and wild animals.
Hollow point bullets are banned by the Geneva Convention, because they are too lethal.
military bullets are tame in comparison to hollow points.
Military's objective is to wound not kill, it takes more manpower to help an injured man than a dead one.
thus tying up assets that could be used for offensive action against my side.
Most of the bullets sold for (consumer use) hunting are hollow point or expanding core
military bullets retain their shape after impact hollow points shatter into dozens of pieces.
forgive me for being so graphic, but if people truly realized how bad they are.
I likely will remove this post soon depending upon the comments it receives.
