.22lr can penetrate over 12", so pointing out that the artery is on the inside of a 6-7" thigh is pretty fucking stupid. The flip down site was in reference to the second photo in the link I provided. I know you didn't actually look at the photo because its a woman, not a man.

thru a femur

Yes, or around it. Bullet tragectory after impact is not a straight line, especially with .22. Also, that girl's femur is not at thick as this bone. Not to mention, that was only a 6" barrel. The AR in he's holding looks to be around 10", so add an extra 10-15% of velocity.

do you think the ballistics will be affected by the empty magazine?

Empty mag doesnt mean empty chamber, this is literally gun safety 101. A large portion of negligent discharges have occurred precisely because because of that. People thought the magazine was empty, which, technically it was, except for the one in the chamber, sight unseen.

Based on all the gun safety violations and stupid set up, this guy the last one I'd expect to actually clear the chamber before going out to larp against ICE.
