Is an AR 15 more powerful than a pistol?
AR-15s inflict much more damage to human tissue than the typical handgun, which is used in most shootings. That’s largely because of the speed at which projectiles leave the weapons; they are much faster out of the muzzle of an AR-15, or similar rifle, and deliver a more devastating blow to bones and organs.

What is the difference between an AR-15 and a handgun?

So even though it delivers rifle performance, it’s lack of a stock, it’s short barrel, and overall length makes it a pistol.

How much damage can a 9mm do?
