Also, what's the defense for 5.56 as viable for self defense? I mean, sure, in as much as it's a bullet, it'll probably stop someone trying to attack you, but then so would any other bullet.
5.56 is not really more or less viable for self defense. It depends on the person. It will give you some penetration but at the same time it gives you penetration. Meaning you are more likely to shoot through your backstop into whatever is on the other side. You also might also get over-penetration of your target in close range situations. That said, its the most common round for semi-auto rifles in the US i believe and has low kick, helping you keep rounds are target with less effort or skill.
Well, watch it to the end...
5.56/.223 has limited overpenetration and low recoil
...
so I'm new here, but I found this.
I don't really know what to say.
Given its small profile and high velocity, I would think overpenetration would be quite common. Am I missing something?
I do understand that low recoil is one of the biggest benefits.
I'm not sure I'd want to risk it, given how you'd grip it. It seems to me like it'd transfer the forces through your wrist exactly how you don't want it to.
I'm not convinced the gun actually exists.
@ctwelve it's not much different than any other short handle shotgun
From what i understand about ballistics the 5.56 projectile is so thin and moves so quickly that it tends to tumble when hitting an object, which slows it down and limits overpenetration as a result
It overpenetrates less than handgun rounds or buckshot
Yeah, it's not, but it looks fucking sick. @Grenade123
when its that short it should be made over under to maintain a low profile
@Miss Direction The youtube video about Adam ruins everything was, oof.
That was bad.
Like Adam Ruins Everything was bad, not the video.
```The panel also voted to include a controversial proposal allowing classroom teachers to carry guns in schools if they go through a selection process that would include background checks and training. Such a change would require the state Legislature’s approval.
Right now, school systems are allowed under a guardian program to arm certain school employees, such as security guards, administrators or librarians.``` Not what you'd expect. The vote was also 13-1 (not stated in the article, but easy to verify)
```“This was the most preventable school shooting that I’ve ever seen data on,” he [Ryan Petty, a commission member whose 14-year-old daughter Alaina was killed in the attack] said. “This kid was screaming for help by publishing his intentions.”```No disagreement there
```The commission didn’t take the step of recommending the most costly school safety improvements, such as metal detectors and bulletproof glass. Instead, the panel referred those expensive items to the Florida Department of Education’s Office of Safe Schools for further review.```Well we saw what they recommended.

As long as you keep leaving schools unguarded, psychos will keep seeing schools as easy targets.
A sign reading "1 in (Fill in blank) members of our school staff are armed with Concealed Carry Firearms. Have a nice day." would do a lot to reduce school shootings by it's self.
yeah tbh
like having the shells of security cameras in parking lots
like just the idea of it is enough to deter people
In case people haven't noticed, these "Mass Shootings" all target and happen in "Gun Free Zones" and most often in areas where legal possession of firearms by the general public is effectively barred.
"Ryan Petty, a commission member whose 14-year-old daughter Alaina was killed in the attack, said the initial focus should be on quick, low-cost improvements that could produce the biggest immediate gains, from increasing school security to making sure threats are taken seriously."
school security is a fucking joke in the SW
you can tell me to shut the fuck up when you spell your "job title" correctly
oof where is this from though, like link?
is that the original thing?
You can open the “history” link to see the earliest & most original available version of that webpage, @Mimi.
