Single shots from rifles do not cause permanent hearing loss.
A better question is how can other cops bring a rifle into a densely populated area WITHOUT a silencer?
I dont even know how to respond to this part. Maybe don’t have the cops come in with the expectations to use the weapon?
This is incorrect. The 5.56 / .223 cartridge is not like in the movies. The nose of the bullet deforms on impact by design.
There are precious few cartridges that will “go through a brick wall”. There are even fewer that would be lethal on the other side of that wall.
My thought is that these rifles have no business being leveraged for this application.
