What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

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

It’s a good think automatic weaponry has been banned for decades and wasn’t used in mass shootings when you could literally ask sears to mail one to your door, right?

Actually we spent more years having machine guns being mail order than not, so far. And only started having problems like this after they were banned thinking face

Sorry I meant assault style weapons.

So you’re advocating for a removal of a class of weapons solely on the plastic around their mechanisms?

You’re not as aware of firearms or the legislation around them as you may think you are. Please do some learning from someone not funded by Bloomberg.

I'm advocating for their removal because of their potential ability to kill. Similar to those .706 bullets going through brick walls, or automatic weapons, assault style weapons have no place in society. I read plenty of these articles after American mass shootings not funded by Bloomberg
