As to your fact 2, I know someone personally who was shot perpendicular in the upper half of the skull above the jaw with a 223, side on. And not a short barreled; but a deliberate hit with a boltaction with a long barrel.
No, he hasn't gone all "Brady" from the injury - indeed you can't actually see any damage from outside although there is some bone and tooth damage.
"you will die before you start falling and Mommy won't recognize your corpse". Well, given that he looks exactly the same after as before, this statement doesn't fly. Although he said that it was one of the less pleasant experiences of his life - akin to being sucker punched REAL hard. Might have been in danger though if he hadn't gotten to a hospital 2 hours later.
It was a longer-distance deliberate shot. Maybe it came from outside of this "lethal range" but it was a pretty accurate hit on someone moving around, made by an enraged nutball running around in the woods, so it couldn't have exactly been a long range bench shot.
People on here may be right or wrong about the AR15's reliability.
But let's just take it easy on exaggerations about the 223's capabilities. 223's advantages are low weight and low recoil and consequently can be used in a gun that's lighter to lug around. But let's leave it at that, please.
