The AR-15 cannot decapitate; this is egregious clickbait. It fires a small round only a bit larger than the .22 and was designed to be light and accurate at medium to long ranges. The original military ammo was fully jacketed, and would penetrate more than damage. https://youtu.be/6bHXspji8Lk https://www.rand.org/pubs/papers/P6306.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_metal_jacket_(ammunition)
