.223 at self defense ranges will still inflict some devastating injuries on someone. I never said that it wouldn't. I think you might be confusing 223 with those little 22 plinking rounds for like squirrels and shit. It's not necessarily entirely about the size of the bullet it's about how much energy it dumps into the target when it hits.
I think it actually is the size of the gun firing the bullets. He was saying that a big gun hits harder than smol gun. So the gun is what makes the energy dump into the target, he said.
Okay hold on a second let me just go stick a Glock 22 inside some massive contraption and see if the bullet it shoots makes a bigger hole as a result.
A bigger gun doesn't necessarily mean a bigger hole it just means that the bigger gun can fire a bigger, heavier bullet that usually has a little more powder in it, which means that the bullet travels faster or has more mass, translating to more energy being dumped into the target when it finally does hit. Really the size of the gun is almost irrelevant to the equation it's really just how much bullet that the barrel and the receiver is designed to shoot. The faster something is going, the more energy it takes to stop it. The more mass that something has when it's moving, the more energy it takes to stop it. Energy equals mass in motion. E equals MC squared. Where are the object in motion came from is irrelevant to this equation. A larger bullet traveling faster will deliver more energy to the Target. A bullet that is designed to break apart when it hits the target will dump more energy into that particular fucking Target then a bullet that isn't meant to break apart. That's why you don't shoot somebody with armor piercing bullets when they're not wearing fucking armor, the bullet will just travel straight through like a hole puncher. That's why there was a big stink about hollow point bullets they dump more of the energy into the target because when they hit they spread apart and slow down and basically use your chest cavity like a sandbag or something that's going to absorb all the energy from that impact. It creates a bigger wound from the concussive force of that bullet hitting you. There's a video online of a guy shooting a pork butt with the bone-in that's about the size of a human thigh with a 308 fragilating round. When he shot that fucking thing with that round that pork butt damn near exploded. 308 or 762 whichever one you want to call it although 762 is a little bit less powerful it has a little bit it has a thicker case for the powder, either way it'll still fuck you up but 308 is a larger round then 223, our military uses 223 because it's a smaller round and that means you can carry more of it on a soldier which is really important because most of the time what our guys are doing is just shooting in the general direction of the enemy to keep their fucking heads down while the designated Marksman makes his kill shots or while we're waiting for a fucking airstrike or while we're waiting for a team to come in and circle around them and get the flank. So the more bullets you have the more suppressive fire you can lay down before you have to send somebody out to run and get another fucking crate of ammo.

Lol 😂

Bigger caliber, as in larger projectile and more grains of gunpowder. Not just "bigger gun," as in the literal size.
