  1. ATFudd: "We don't understand why a civilian would need to walk around with a HANDGUN chambered with military grade armor piercing ammunition." The ignorance is appalling. Your argument is invalid. Feel free to ban ALL the green tip, military grade, armor piercing HANDGUN ammunition you want. Idiots. 🤡

  2. These rounds are made for long distance shots as the standard xm193 55grain bullet loses punch at distances over 200 yards. The standard bullets are more deadly at close range due to higher velocity which penetrates most armor anyway. This report is silly.

  3. I love how the 2nd dude calls it an AR-15 "assault" rifle 1st dude got it right….. This is where misleading begins with terrible Media one siding the out look and creating names to make something sound worse than it is. Remington long rifle shoots 223s and 556 and it's a great hunting rifle but yet they say you can't hunt with an AR-15 that shoots the same ammo at the same speed at the same distance… It's frustrating how dumb we are becoming.

  4. Got to love this BONEHEAD right of the BAT AR15 ASSAULT RIFLE!!!!!! GOT NEWS FOR HIM MY ARMOURLIGHT HAS NEVER ASSAULTED ANYONE!!! FAKE NEWS CBS REPORTS NEED TO BE BANNED!🤬

  5. FYI The M855's 62gr green tip projectile won't go through any body armor that a standard FMJ can't, basically any 5.56×45 load will punch clean though soft body amor worn by police. Ironically, only a 55gr bullet fired from a 20inch barrel has any chance of penetrating steel or ceramic rifle rated body armor, basically an retro style M16A1 configuration that has been around the longest is the ideal setup for putting tiny holes into stuff.

  6. .223 .223 AR this AR that it makes me sick to think that people think it is the most powerful caliber out there people are obsessed with that Gun. Give me a .450 bushmaster or an AK over that any day —- how about a .308-
    30-30 now your talking — I don’t care if they try to ban that platform as it’s not really my first choice to bring to the party…And there are so many others I have not even mentioned!!!
