Expert Compares AR-15 Damage to Grenade

Description

An AR-15 rifle was used in mass shootings in Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, Aurora, and now Orlando. It's been described as America's most popular rifle. But, even as debates about gun control rage on across America, many people are unaware of the damage an AR-15 can do to the human body. Bullets leave the rifle at three-times the velocity of a handgun, with enough energy to reportedly pass through three inches of leg bone. to One trauma surgeon compared the wounds inflicted from the AR-15 to a grenade, versus the knife-like injuries sustained from most handguns.
