    They’re not “high powered” rounds but they’re still a rifle round. If they weren’t powerful enough to reliably “incapacitate” (i.e. “kill”) a human being at 100 yards the world’s militaries wouldn’t use it.

    If it had hit anything more substantial than an ear in his chest/head he would have been critically injured or dead.

      .22LR can readily kill someone, with good shot placement. Basically anything interfering with the heart, brain, or causing substantial leaks of the circulatory system is gonna kill someone.

      Real men can shrug off any calibre not designed to punch through car engine blocks.

      Shit, I hear that if you use enough power tools and watch enough sportsball even those liquid copper jet tank boomy things have a hard time getting through the protective crust of sawdust and testosterone.

        Lol power tools… Literally devices made to make hard work easy, so funny that they became this manly symbol.
