This popped up in my Google news feed. Snopes can’t just do what they claim to do—simply prove myths/legends/gossip/whatever from the internet. Instead, they take the opportunity to grandstand and give a “we hate that it’s technically wrong, but we’re gonna find bad in it anyway” answer.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ar-15-bullet-hole-size-wound/

“What’s True
The hole shown in the poster could plausibly represent the diameter of the highly destructive temporary cavity left in a person's body by a high-velocity AR-15 round.“

Right—the moonbeam idiot protesting with the idiotic sign is actually an FBI firearm forensic analyst that is talking about a complex topic of internal bullet ballistics and didn’t mean to just flat-out BS about the size of the bullet hole from a .223/5.56 projectile. Sure. I believe you. No really...I do.
 
Whatever size hole the round will make is irrelevant, it is my natural right to use whatever tool for family protection.
Snopes can suck it.
Well there’s that, too.

I agree completely.

However, this is America and for that reason alone is enough for me to own firearms regardless how upset, butthurt, or crying libtards, snowflakes or insert whatever group here say I shouldn’t.
 
I looked at the link, the thing that I didnt like about the page was they keep saying "high velocity..."
Yeah, bullets move dang fast, we get it.

But in reading throughout they pretty much say that the poster is inaccurate UNLESS it was an exit wound with special circumstances (ie: hit bone and fragmented), but even then highly unlikely.
Showing evidence of what an entry wound should be like -about a 1/4 of an inch...not the multiple inch gaping hole represented on the poster.
 
I just read that steaming pile a few minutes ago. The part that made me hit the back button (too lazy to go back and pull the quote) was the paragraph that said that both pictures were right and wrong at the same time....

I backed out of there and came here. Now I feel better!

I don't go to snopes. I come here.
These guys are the most hard-ass authenticaters I've ever seen. If there's proof out there yay or nay they'll find it.
