Thus, there are specific bullets designed for the .223 rifle that fragment on striking a person, instantly disabling that individual. As Scott told the Daily News, “What makes the .223 so lethal is that it travels so fast that when it strikes someone it has the tendency to be unstable. It can tumble a bit and fragment. If it hits someone in the ribs or leg, the chance is fairly good it’s going to fragment somewhat and create a huge wound path. When it strikes someone and goes through them it creates this tremendous wind channel, like the wake of a boat.”
