I'm glad they got invited to this hearing. It must be tough to listen too though.

The explosion problem has been known for a long while with the .223, so bad that the NATO round was modified to try to prevent that tumble. The damage is similar to that described in the youth shot by the DC sniper several years ago. He was also using an AR-15.

That isn't the reason that we switched to the 5.56 from the 7.62. GreenStormCloud Mar 2013 #10

The doctor actually missed one important point. The bullet he used would have been illegal in a war Xithras Mar 2013 #9

I'll have to look for it when I get home... Clames Mar 2013 #17

So you're saying that these bullets are illegal in warfare but legal in our backyards. progressoid Mar 2013 #19

Any hunting cartridge or police handgun cartridge is illegal in warfare hack89 Mar 2013 #20

Yep. Xithras Mar 2013 #26

"I'm not a ballistics expert" - he definitely proved that. hack89 Mar 2013 #16

The dr may not be a ballistic expert but as a dr in an emergency room does have experience Thinkingabout Mar 2013 #21

Any bullet would not be a pretty scene compared to a .22 hack89 Mar 2013 #22

Point made, dr is perhaps more experienced in gun shot wounds and this was his testimony. Thinkingabout Mar 2013 #23

I think Feinstein was merely using him to score cheap political points. hack89 Mar 2013 #24

He was an eye witness of those who came into his emergency room, who else would you suggest Thinkingabout Mar 2013 #25

An actual expert on guns and bullets hack89 Mar 2013 #28

The dr was testifing to what condition the victims were in when they arrive in an emergency room. Thinkingabout Mar 2013 #29

The point of the hearings was to get those guns banned hack89 Mar 2013 #30

In the hands of those incapable of possessing or having the weapons available this is what happens. Thinkingabout Mar 2013 #31

Doctor, is it your testimony that being shot does damage to the body? kudzu22 Mar 2013 #27

Most people don't know the extent of the damage done after a round impacts a human body.... OldDem2012 Mar 2013 #39

Ok, but most people know that guns are for killing, right? kudzu22 Mar 2013 #40

Oh, I think you know full well that it makes a great deal of difference. CTyankee Mar 2013 #41

Thanks for your concern. Duly noted and appropriately filed. nt. OldDem2012 Mar 2013 #42
