Original Note:
The claim that an AR-15 caused this crater in titanium is false. This damage is from a NASA test where a 1-inch, half-ounce plastic cylinder collided with a 4-inch-thick aluminum block in orbit. This is unrelated to firearms and shows the power of orbital impacts, not guns. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/369974652_Mechanics_of_space_debris_removal
