if it doesn't go through a deer at 20 feet, why would it go through a person?

i take it you never fired a 45? it can go through an engine block, and it's a pistol...


What are you talking about? Say, a Remmington .223 fired from an AR-15? Yes, that goes through a person. I have to assume that an AK or SKS works similarly.

I can't speak for .45s and engine blocks. I've only shot one at a range with paper targets, and that's only a sub-sonic round.

AK is a much different Round!
It's akin to the Swiss GP-11 (7.5mm)
The modern Rounds do not have that kind of penetration!

For a .223 round to pass through the body, it cannot hit bone. It hits bone, it tumbles, fragments and slows way down. .223 accelerator rounds might go through and through. They are a lighter round and travel faster with the same amount of powder. Great for varmints, fox, coyote, hogs, jackrabbits, ghetto trash, etc.
