Know it all at work....

Ok, every one, I am not at all a know it all, but I do work with a guy who is an US Army Vet from the first Gulf War era. He has spouted that every one knows that a 5.56 bullet bounces around in the barrel after initial discharge. I didn't want to embarrass him. Please tell me this is NOT true. This goes against all that I have learned about firearms in the last four years of buying my first firearm. I mean, how could the bullet have rifling lines on it for LE to prove origins of spent bullets. The more I say here, the more I feel really dumb to even think he's right. Just as he swears the Army hands out rifles with bent barrels willy-nilly.

Maybe he's confusing solid core bullets bouncing around inside of people?
Or maybe he's only shot a Mini-14?

Well played, sir.

He is confusing a tumbling round for a musket I guess.

[blacklabel]

Or he's trying to hide his ignorance through stupidity.

[Bailey Guns]

No, he's a dumbass.

And to think all this time I've been cursing my shooting skills.......

Was he trying to shoot 5.56 in a 7.62x51? Did he mention his MOS while he was in the Army? I was a helicopter mechanic when I was in the Army. We tried not to get too close to guns. Those things can kill you
