We’ve heard a lot about the abilities of the AR-15. Last summer, NPR reported that bullets travel from the AR-15 with such velocity that they can decapitate an adult. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. informed us that a bullet from an AR-15 can liquify tissue and vaporize bone.
Now, as California’s Department of Justice weighs an assault weapons ban, Col. Craig Tucker has testified that a single round from an AR-15 “is capable of severing the upper body from the lower body, or decapitation.” Furthermore, it’s useless as a defensive weapon, except maybe when used to beat an attacker with it.
I am in absolute awe
I was today years old when I was informed, by an "expert" testifying for California's DOJ, that an AR is an area effect weapon, a single .223 round can sever a human being in half, barrel rifling is what makes a round tumble upon hitting it's target and… https://t.co/5VZ5vIWN4c pic.twitter.com/Qnl7Qr0uQC

“… barrel rifling is what makes a round tumble upon hitting its target and chunks of plastic you hold on to make a gun more lethal. all while simultaneously only being useful as a blunt force weapon in self-defense.”
area effect weapon, can cut people to pieces, not very good for defensive uses?
my brother in Christ, that's not an AR-15, that's a B-29 superfortress (common mistake, they're very similar) pic.twitter.com/JJcB8iFnCh

I'm flabbergasted by this nonsense.

Time to take him up on the "under penalty of perjury" part.

I'm not entirely sure if it's physically possible to be that wrong, but since it's sworn, I guess it is now.

@TheAKGuy I think we need a demo of the awesome firing power of the AR15 .223 severing a human body in half. Or the couple small holes it produces. Whichever is more accurate.

Could you please point to a single instance in which use of a .223 round was involved in, "severing the upper body from the lower body, or decapitation"?
It's ok, I'll wait.

Is this the same Col Tucker USMC who was releived for inappropriate conduct with a female Marine Capt.?
— RIP DiceMan (@FistusGoodus) February 11, 2023
Same guy. He was retired shortly after the conduct hearing.

For someone who declared under penalty of perjury that his statement is true and correct he sure did prejure himself a lot. It's about time these people are held accountable for their lies in court.
— ~SweetDreams~ (@SwtLlDrms) February 11, 2023
Col (retired) Craig Tucker should be charged with perjury for those outrageous and untrue statements.

I always thought rifling was meant to stabilize the bullet. Who would’ve thought it made it tumble?

The .223 was designed to blow a lung right out of the body as it leaves the barrel at hypersonic speeds….

“The round is designed to kill, not wound.” No way! That’s like President Joe Biden repeatedly saying that police should be trained to shoot people in the leg.
