AR15

[Ynoocs]

Hello all,

I asked about this in the firearms megathread, but was looking for more input if anyone has any. How effective would an AR15 with a 16" barrel be for ctb, say compared to a 9mm handgun? I know .223 isn't the biggest round, but it flying at 3,000+ FPS in soft/hollow point configuration seems absolutely devastating. It's also not that big of a weapon, and I have very little trouble aiming it behind the ear. With that being said, would behind the ear, or inside the mouth at an upward 15 degree angle be better?

Thanks in advance!

@Ynoocs Aiming behind the ear, should yield a higher chance of lethality. In the small chance you miss the brainstem, the projectile would be going through both hemispheres of the brain.
