AR15 rifles are very accurate. Its one of the reasons you see them everywhere. A 5.56(.223 cal) is shooting basically flat at 150 yards. We dont even head out from the range unless our rifles are hitting within 1.5 inches at 100 yards. I am not the same as most here and probably own at least 5 rifles in that caliber alone. We target shoot and hunt.
Everything you say about being rushed or follow up shots or a follow-up are true. But its not a hard shot especially with an optic. We used to shoot routinely out to 500 yards with a .223 and it was the go to caliber for prairie dogs out to 300 yards. Those are about the size of a Gatorade bottle. With wind it was not a sure thing at 300-350 yards, but I would say 3 out of 5 shots were good. But the number is 90% under 225 yards.
And that caliber would graze or not kill as well. You can nick anything with a bullet and the bullet just keeps going. It wouldnt do anything to an ear anyway if you directly hit it. It would pass through like a nail and leave a similar hole. Its too light of skin to do anything.
