didn't Stoner design it with this purpose in mind? i.e. to tumble? Much like the AK-74 nowadays
How? Well, if you did your job right, you'd probably be booted ASAP. The last thing a criminal syndicate wants is an honest man.That's the Kofi Annan school of management (i.e. see Bosnia, Rwanda, and then Kofi's promotion to Sec Generalship . . .). In jobs where you can manage to be held unaccountable for anything you do, no matter how utterly disastrous, how can one help but move on up?
I find this hard to believe. Were these guys hit from straight ahead, at an angle while passing, or straight from the side? If from straight ahead or at an angle, the bullet must have had a lot of momentum to make such an abrupt change in direction and still blow out someone's intestines. If straight from the side, the bullet must have had a lot of momentum to power past bone, tendons, and muscle, then head south and still blow out someone's intestines.he told me of hitting guys running in the upper shoulder (entry) and then seeing the exit wound come out of their lower abdominal, blowing out intestines.
Something must have gotten garbled in transmission. Why would anyone bury ammo they felt was crap, and then dig it up later and use it when it was certainly crappier after being buried, especially in a rifle where cleanliness is highly important to proper functioning?when they came back to these old sites the fox holes would be dug up. anyways, supposedly if they got the slightest rust/corrosion the ammo would really jam.
The owner then began to spout off how that is truly what the M16 is all about, no charging handle/brass deflector so it is truly light,...
It's not a nitpick. It's the only type of wound you referred to in your original post, and it's the only support offered for the thread's topic: the M-16's "unstable bullet." In fact, the rest of the post about crappy ammo is irrelevant to the topic, and the discussion of VC/NVA grabbing US weapons is a tangent.hitting a guy while running, in the back.....would mean you shot him while he was running away from you, much like the shot Tom Berenger pulls with a short burst in the movie platoon. why is it so hard for you to see a bullet tumbling down like this? anything else you need to nit pick?
