The interesting thing is - not that I've been shot mind you - lots of people that get shot aren't even initially aware they are shot. It's weird but true.
IDK how much you know about bullet types but "ball" = no hollow point or whatnot, just a pointy cone (so, not really ball shaped at all - I have to assume the name is historical?). Now, I don't know why LE would be using such ammo, but I'm assuming this is the case because if it was hollow point it would be way more than "ow." And at this close of range the bullet wouldn't have time to start tumbling, which is when ball ammo from an AR can really fuck you up.
Note, the above is non-expert understanding of the situation so anyone more expert feel free to weigh in.
Edit: I'm actually curious what Rittenhouse had his loaded with, that arm crater in that guy was way more than "ow."
