Possible snipers seen at OSU. Administration says they're not snipers but should be treated like they are. (midwest.social)

You saved the day right? Oh no that is just the start, since the round fired was a 7.62x51mm NATO (there is no “rubber” round for this firearm) it went straight through the torso of that protester with a box knife and into and then back out of at least a few other people

High angle means it would likely go into the ground. Also could use hollow point though, I don't know if police use hollow point on rifles.

They use various soft point rounds (you can't really use hollow points on high velocity rifles). The rounds are basically hollow points with a plastic ballistic tip.

I would not want to be behind someone shot with a .308 fragmenting round or not.

Here is a video showing the sort of penetration at 100 yards (what distance police snipers shoot from)
