In this episode of What the Fuck America, a retired army kernel goes head to head with a lifelong fed. Colonel Tucker declares before the court that…

…NATO 5.56 and/or (?) 0.223 caliber ammo can decapitate or split the upper body from the lower in a single shot. To support this claim, he makes up a story about a marine and then describes the Iraqi children he saw torn in half.

Did this hero just self report? It also turns out that your average lifelong war criminal doesn’t really even need to know how guns work lmao

    I’ve heard that 5.56 was chosen over 7.62 NATO cause it was about as effective with the added benefit of being small and therefore lighter to carry.

    This is almost always the answer. Logistics is what wins wars. If you can carry more ammo and stack more in a truck than your enemy, you’re in a good spot.

          80k PSI, made for a rifle designed by the lowest bidder

          (The lowest bidder in this case being Sig Sauer, the company that brought cops and security guards everywhere a gun that just kinda goes off sometimes.)

        The standard issue length of barrel is going to be 13inches with that thing which makes it worse lmfao it’s the f-35 of rifles.

        Edit: it also comes stock with a suppressor which also makes it worse.
