Chances are they used the shell casing, which means only one recovered rounds was a 5.56x45 NATO round. AR-15s will fire .223 just fine, and most shooters use that in their AR-15s.

For such a vilified weapon, it sure seems ineffective. And 5.56 is the same as .223 Remington, which is fired in various bolt-rifles. So the one death may not be to an AR15/clone. The 7.62x39 is the AK 47 round. Almost no bolt actions use that round AFAIK. It is not that useful a round. Those deaths likely occurred due to AK47/clones use, and represent about 9.6% of total casualties over the 10 years.

Maybe the officer wasn't wearing it properly. But why are all rifle rounds are considered "armor piercing bullets?" With a little spin, any bullet seems special.

That's the great thing about meaningless terms-- they're completely flexible. I suppose of it’s a weapon and someone uses it in comitting an assault, it’s an “assault weapon”.
