The idea of shooting any round at someone and expecting to "just wound them" is absurd, but .223/5.56 is definitely in the range of "reliably fatal if applied to the chest or head" .
It might not be a "big boy round" but it's still a rifle round -- if wasn't powerful enough to reliably "incapacitate" (i.e. kill) a human being at 100 yards the world's militaries wouldn't still be using after 40+ years.
Real men can shrug off any calibre not designed to punch through car engine blocks.
Shit, I hear that if you use enough power tools and watch enough sportsball even those liquid copper jet tank boomy things have a hard time getting through the protective crust of sawdust and testosterone.
Lol power tools... Literally devices made to make hard work easy, so funny that they became this manly symbol.
Oh idk, fucksaws are pretty manly. Love a man that knows his way around a fucksaw.
.22LR can readily kill someone, with good shot placement. Basically anything interfering with the heart, brain, or causing substantial leaks of the circulatory system is gonna kill someone.
You're the dude pretending 9mm would be a reasonable false flag ammo lol
... you might want to re-read my comment because I'm definitely not saying that. The idea of "Shooting to wound" with any live round is moronic. Even .22lr can easily kill or cripple someone regardless of the shooter's intent.
I take issue with downplaying how powerful .223/5.56 is. Sure, there are absolutely more powerful rifle rounds. That being said, here's a video of cheap surplus 5.56 FMJ punching through 1/4" steel plate at 200 yards.
