The muscles in your forearms bulge like train rails. You would like to give this country bumpkin a cuff on the ear for showing such impudence. But civilized minds prevail. You opt for the informative resolution instead.
“Now see here, man,” you speak. “This is no 5.56/223 AR-15. It is a 338 ARC – chambered for a cartridge designed to surpass the 300 AAC Blackout in every conceivable way. When it fires a 215 grain FTX projectile, it is more than adequate for taking medium game. The FTX’s secant ogive profile profile and polymer tip are both hallmarks of a long-range hunting bullet. The latter compresses on impact to initiate wide terminal expansion, even at lower velocities. The FTX additionally features an InterLock ring, which secures its core and jacket together in the interest of high weight retention and deep penetration following impact. Do you follow?”
You regard the bumpkin. His eyes are unfocused as he digs into his right ear canal with an unwashed pinky finger. “Huh?” he says.
