    Grab 9mm fmj's and they are commonly referred to as plinking bullets. IE, target practice. The rounds used in this case were aguila .223 55 gr fmj. Not even 5.56 nato rounds which are hotter and can be used in most AR15s. I would say not much thought was given to ammo...

    He said he didn't know anything about ammo, and practiced shooting by firing into targets which were 10ft away. I don't think admitting he knew nothing about the rifle he was firing is helping him, but who knows.

    He used Aguilla .223 55 grain fmj rounds.

    Not armor piercing rounds, not a hunting round.

    Its actually a basic and fairly simple and
    Sedate load.

    The disadvantage of FMJ rounds it that they're less lethal than hollow points.

    Why would a person bent on killing pick the less lethal option?

    The only people who would've been wearing body armor that night were the cops.

    Are you suggesting that Kyle wanted to kill cops?

    Plus he just deserves the money considering the pain he has gone through due to irrational hate of him for being a straight while male who used a gun.

    This.

    I buy FMJ rounds because they're cheap. I buy hollow points because they're deadly.

    This case has national attention on twitter, etc. How is it not a political case at this point? Yes, Rittenhouse doesn't have any political title or office, but he's been made a pariah by political forces in a social cultural phenmona. So yes, to me it's a political case.

    Found the guy who's never touched or read anything about guns.

    Anyway...
    "That led to yet another new round, which FN based off of Remington's .223 caliber design, that was dubbed the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO. This new round exceeded the Defense Department's requirements for muzzle velocity and range, and fired exceedingly well from Armalite designed rifles.

    Early tests showed increases in rifleman accuracy as well as decreases in weapon malfunctions when compared to the M1 Garand, with many experts contending at the time that the new rifle was superior to the M14, despite still having a few issues that needed to be worked out."

    Most people would be mortally embarrassed at making such a statement. Most.

    Whatever the result is, it will send a chill to one group or the other. If Kyle Rittenhouse is guilty, we will know we are no longer allowed to defend ourselves. If he is not guilty, rioters will know that they can "peacefully protest" but if they threaten anyone with bodily harm or death, they can and may be shot. Personally, I would rather see the second message sent.

    Does anyone know if the man charged with killing David Dorn has been tried yet? Surely the trial of someone accused of killing a 77 year old retired police officer should warrant the same amount of news time as someone accused of killing a child molester and a domestic abuser??

    He was using FMJ, as I understand it, which go through people, as opposed to hollow.

    His intent is murderous either way, but with FMJ, you are reckless (for this purpose) because the bullet will go through people and hurt or could kill unintended targets. Isn't that the point the prosecution raised?

    To me, he is guilty of murder, if not first, then second degree.

    Seems like a real contrast in approach between the defense and the prosecution in their closing arguments. Defense wants to talk about people in his group pointing lasers, Kyle not being an EMT, Kyle being told not to leave the property. Kind of all over the place. In contrast I'm hearing the defense say here is what the law says and here is how Kyle's actions apply to the law. Hopefully the jury is reasonably intelligent and unbiased.

    The prosecutor... you mean the guy who said hollow points explode? That august member of the brain trust?
    He doesn't know what he's talking about. FMJ is the most commonly used round because its cheap. A copper jacket keeps the lead projectile from leaving lead in the barrel, that's all. Its not armor piercing.
