What is a REGULAR BULLET?

we have someone claim that the bullets fired out of AR 15s are horrible bone shattering vehicles of mass destruction while REGULAR bullets don't do as much damage. Could someone explain to me what a REGULAR BULLET IS

 

Oh just for reference

 

No one cares. What a dumb poll.

 

I suppose it depends on the kinds of weapon discussed. For hand guns, ball type is "regular" and things like encased or jacketed would be enhanced.

For long guns, its about total grain loads, shape, etc. There isn't specifically a "regular" type.

Does it ever actually matter though?

 

For centerfire rifles. it doesn't get much more regular - or mundane - than a 0.224" 55gr FMJ.

 

Evidently you cared enough to post.

 

I cared about saying no one cares.

 

If you don't have any interest in the thread you can always not participate.

The point of the thread is the emotional misinformation being disseminated by certain liberals who are completely ignorant of what they are speaking of

 

The purpose of the thread was to troll. It's evidence from the poll options.

 

If by trolling you mean "further expose the ignorance of the anti-gun left", then sure.

 

Ask the person who made the comment. Sounds like it was a comparison between.223 rifle round out of a 16 inch barrel vs handgun rounds like 9mm Luger out of 4.5 inch barrel.

 

The irony is overwhelming

 

When i feel overwhelmed, i take some deep breaths and sip tea.

 

It was a dishonest claim by a poster who constantly makes dishonest claims about firearms. Regular bullet is even more stupid than "assault weapon" you see for hunting a regular bullet is either a hollow point or other projectile designed to expand. Those are banned for military use. but for civilian defense, most of us load our handguns with hollow points because they are both safer and have better stopping power. Few crazed criminals bother getting the much more expensive similar ammo for rifles, the military surplus bullets are FMJ and much cheaper

 

if you didn't care, you wouldn't have posted. and what is dumb is someone justifying banning AR 15s with moronic claims that their bullets are "more deadly" than "regular bullets"

 

one of our most vociferous gun banners claimed that AR 15s are sinister because their bullets are far more deadly than "regular bullets". the purpose of this poll is to accentuate the stupidity of such a claim

 

Any reason to ban AR15s is good enough for me.

 

There are no sound arguments for a ban on AR15s.

 

unless you are a violent felon or a wanna be dictator

 

I know that you do not care about gun violence.

We should just equip every school kid with a suicide vest, so at least their death can take out the shooter.

 

I suppose a regular bullet is just one that kills people without blowing their head clean off.

 

Right on cue, you prove my point.
Well done.

 

You're welcome.

 

I trained you SO well.

 

what bullets do that? of all the ones I have seen, a 12 G charge of birdshot at close range or buckshot is most likely to do that. Maybe a 50 caliber BMG round
