The other rifles will kill without good shot placement. Even if the rifle is heavier the larger calibers can't hide how much more powerful they really are. There is a big difference.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
Mel, which kind of round in the AR15s that have been used in the mass shootings that has murdered masses of people is the one that actually kills, instead of wounds, people?
BTW, "The US Army contended in 2003 that the lack of close range lethality of the 5.56×45mm NATO was more a matter of perception than fact. With controlled pairs and good shot placement to the head and chest, the target was usually defeated without issue. The majority of failures were the result of hitting the target in non-vital areas such as extremities."

As was his reply. Haha. Everyone needs to chill out. Nothing frays this forum's nerves more than gun control debates, apparently.

These kids know little about the rifle, they don't know how controllable it is compared to others, I doubt they compared the weight to others, they would not know how it compares to others for distance (it is actually not as good at a distance), that it is made by Daniel means nothing. They do buy them for their looks but the same argument can NOT be made for others because they are unavailable.Originally Posted by Rod Kaufman
I think its lethality, as demonstrated by the plethora of mass shootings associated with it, is the point. The AR15 type rifle is lightweight and controllable, carries a high capacity mag, and is effective for mass killings at distances as evidenced by the mass shooting in Vegas wherein 60 died. The Vegas perp, who killed himself, was reportedly armed with multiple AR15s, including one made by Daniel Defense, maker of the AR15 used in the Uvalde massacre. While you may be correct in that the reason people buy them is because of the way they look, that's the same argument that could be made for other types of military weapons that appear equally menacing but aren't available for sale to the public...
