"I see the confusion continues." The yes or no question was in reference to if you wanted to explain why M855 was a poor choice.

Seriously? Simply repeating it is a poor choice over and over isn't much of an explanation. You're just repeating yourself.
Quote:Ball ammo with a steel penetrator is not ideal for home defense by dint of it's very manufacturing. Why would anyone use ball ammo to defend their home when there are numerous JHP, fragmenting and pre stressed jacket ammunition options.
Whether the round has a steel penetrator or a copper base that penetrates up to 22 inches of ballistics gel you still have the same problem you have thus far avoided explaining.
Quote:I get why the military uses it, it's what they've got. They don't want to spend over a $1 a round for their ammunition. Any reasonable home owner looking to defend their property and family will absolutely shell out the extra cash.
In your opinion, the average gun owner doesn't know what a choke is, but they will concern themselves with this level of pedantry?
Quote:This might be the most insane question I've ever been asked regarding ammunition. Do you really think all rounds were created equal, is there a one size fits all round out there? This question honestly makes me think you're trolling.
So far you've made a lot of false assumptions about what I believe and attributed a lot of false claims I've never made while dolling out one insult after another about my intelligence. The latest of which is do I really think all rounds are created equal. You would have to be "insane" and "trolling" to suggest I believe such nonsense. You're the one who made the blanket statement that the whole AR argument exists because of the one stop incapacitating power of a rifle round over a handgun round is indisputable. But, you have disputed your own claim. There are rifle rounds that don't have the same one stop incapacitating power of a handgun round. M855 being one of them. A handgun with "JHP, fragmenting and pre stressed jacket ammunition options" (such as a Lehigh Defense .45 acp maximum expansion round) is a superior choice to an AR with M855. That is a handgun to rifle round comparison which was your original comparison.
Quote:What is best for home defense is absolutely far from indisputable, in general terms. What is not indisputable is that a rifle round is more lethal than a handgun round.
Except when the increased muzzle velocity of the rifle causes a through and through wound, right?

I hate when I'm wrong, too.
