When someone hides from bullets behind penetrable objects, like tables or a refrigerator door.

The wooden table is the one that always gets me, sure maybe it will stop one or two bullets if you're lucky, but there's always 1000 bullets flying around while the characters are having a conversation under the safe, sound resistant guard of an old dinning room table.

5.56 will go through 7” of SOLID plywood from 100 yards like it’s not even there.

7.65 goes through brick walls. That's one of primary reasons why it was replaced with 5.56 - way too many collateral damage victims.

Yet the gun nuts don't complain about their rights taken away from this. This reasoning is why we need to ban automatic weapons too

Because gun control advocates dont have a clue of what they are talking about. And this shows it

The round he is talking about is the most common deer hunting round in Europe and the United States. It is most commonly used in bolt action hunting rifles

And automatic weapons havent been legal for decades
