Are you serious? lol

Do you think it gains speed once it leaves the bbl or something? Its going its fastest when it leaves. And a .223 is devastating, they tumble and fragment as soon as they hit flesh.

EDIT: With that being said, I wouldnt want my sister or my mom or any one not experienced with guns to use my AR in the house. over penetration is a big issue with rifles.
