"An AR 15 can liquify organs at 500 yards

Some people play too many of the wrong video games. . .or think people are really made of Explodium.

So you don't think that a 30-06 or a 308 would do the same?

There were plenty of examples of guys getting holes through their helmets from WW I onward.

She might be technically correct, however, because punching a hole in a helmet was part of the design specs, something that started happening around that era as the military/industrial complex really started moving along at ludicrous speed.

"As a result, the Army was forced to reconsider a 1957 request by General Willard G. Wyman, commander of the U.S. Continental Army Command (CONARC), to develop a .223 caliber (5.56 mm) select-fire rifle weighing 6 lb (2.7 kg) when loaded with a 20-round magazine. The 5.56mm round had to penetrate a standard U.S. M1 helmet at 500 yards (460 meters) and retain a velocity in excess of the speed of sound, while matching or exceeding the wounding ability of the .30 Carbine cartridge. This request ultimately resulted in the development of a scaled-down version of the ArmaLite AR-10, called the ArmaLite AR-15 rifle."

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmaLite_AR-15 under the paragraph "Scaling down the ArmaLite AR-10" - yeah, it's Wikipedia, but there are links to legitimate sites if you want to dig deeper.

UGGH Firstly that wasn't the point of this meme, But even most trained marksmen couldn't hit a Helmet sized target with a .223 round (the round most commonly used in an AR 15) at 500 yards in an AR 15 and if they did a .223 is not likely to penetrate the helmet at that distance.

The point is WTF is liquify organs supposed to mean? does the round have an electric blender attached to it the blends the organs when it hits? the .223 (again most commonly used round in a civilian AR 15) is just a souped up 22, It will expand on impact and create a decent wound cavity but as far as bullets go it is not all that lethal, certainly not at 500 yards.

Ok, I think that you and I are in agreement, just talking past one another.

I was replying to your comment about the design of the round and weapon. I totally get the point of the original meme. There are those out there that talk a lot of shit about guns yet they have absolutely no idea how guns work.

Regarding the lethality of the 223 on the battlefield, I don't know if it's official doctrine, but some say it's better to have a wounded enemy than an instant kill because it takes at least two other enemy soldiers to provide aid to each wonded soldier.
