>Because it's a 5.56 or .223 most likely, very small bullet going very fast. Was never designed to be super deadly
And a side effect of the propellant charge to get it going that fast is a wicked blast of gases from the muzzle. I think that's what blew that guy's arm apart. It must have been a contact (or near-contact) shot.
Hmm.. The account (ANTIFA) is now saying that it's not him. He's right in that it's not the guy in this vid:
No satchel.
That guy who shot from the ground in those vids wasn't carrying a satchel like that. It's not even the right guy.
Hmm… you're right . Maybe it IS the same guy.
I retract my previous observations:
Best view. Yep, green-shirt orange-bag guy.
Blue nitrile gloves. I wear that type at work everyday. Those are plenty thick enough.
